Centre for Criminal Justice and Human Rights

The Centre for Criminal Justice and Human Rights (CCJHR) was established by the Faculty of Law, UCC in 2006. The study of criminal justice and human rights and the intersection between the two raises complex and challenging questions. The Centre seeks to contribute to national and international debates on these questions through the promotion of cutting edge interdisciplinary research, innovative programmes of legal education and training, and strategic partnerships with Government, statutory bodies, and civil society organisations worldwide.
