John Adesola BSc, MSc, PgCert, FHEA, ACIArb

Senior Lecturer in Criminology


Summary

I completed a BSc. in International Law and Diplomacy and a MSc. in Forensic Criminology. I
teach across the criminology and policing programme while collaborating with colleagues on social justice issues. I also have a strong enthusiasm for applied and interdisciplinary research. 

 

About

I joined Sheffield Hallam as an associate lecturer in 2018 and my interest centers around crime
prevention, the criminal justice system, criminological theories, gang culture and violence. I am
particularly interested in the conceptualisation and theorisation of crime and my doctoral thesis
explores police accountability. I am a member of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators (CIArb) 
and a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (FHEA).
