Social Sciences

Our collection covers social sciences disciplines including, but not restricted to anthropology, criminology, economics, education, management and business studies, media studies, politics, psychology, research methods and social policy.

Socio-legal studies

We have key journals, text books and PhD theses in socio-legal traditions and criminal justice studies. The collection covers many other areas where law, social sciences and the humanities intersect.  

We also have government publications, and publications from commercial and voluntary sector organisations. These include studies of justice policy and the impacts of law on particular sections of society.  

You can use a range of other resources that provide insights into the social contexts and cultural representations of law. These include sound and video recordings, oral histories, business market research reports, maps, manuscripts and archives, and news media.
