Over the past year, we have hosted a Research Fellow, Connor Woodman, sponsored by the Barry Amiel & Norman Melburn Trust. The Centre is today publishing two papers on undercover policing Connor has written as part of this Fellowship, under the title Spycops in context.

Attempts to punish and prosecute our way out of knife violence are doomed to failure, according to a new report from the Centre for Crime and Justice Studies. The report – Young people, violence and knives – finds that police-led interventions and tougher sentencing have, at best, been ineffective and at worst, been counterproductive.

We're looking for someone who is highly organised, with excellent verbal and written communications skills to provide effective coordination and administration of all the Centre’s day-to-day organisational functions, including facilities, office, finance and HR management, and to facilitate the smooth running of the organisation and of its facilities, maintaining ICT, administering the membership scheme, contacts database and finances.
