esultant challenges will be moulded into a strategic research agenda for the development andfunding of action-oriented research initiatives.Democracy, Crime and JusticeSusanne Karstedt is leading a project that aims at exploring the impact of democratic values andinstitutions on crime and justice, including interpersonal and state violence, corruption,imprisonment rates and prison conditions. A data base including nearly 80 countries has beenestablished bringing together a wide range of large secondary data sources. Multivariate andhierarchical models are presently established for a range of topics. Findings have been presentedat various international conferences including the International Conference on the Sociology ofLaw at Onati in 2009.Life after Punishment of sentenced Nazi war criminalsIn this project, Susanne Karstedt is analysing 30 cases of Nazi war criminals – from members ofthe elite who have been sentenced at the Nuremberg Trials to concentration camp guards – andtraces their biographies after their release from prison. Archival and biographical methods areused, and secondary sources analysed. The findings demonstrate the intricate relationship betweenindividual and collective memories in a society in transition. Findings have been presented atvarious seminars.The European Moral EconomyThe project analyses the respective module of the European Social Survey round 2, 2004, coauthoredby Stephen Farrall, Sheffield, and Susanne Karstedt. He is also collaborator in theproject, in which hierarchical modeling techniques will be used for the exploration of middle classcrime and market anomie in 25 European countries. Findings have been presented at the GermanSociological Congress in 2008.Trust in Justice and the Police: Embedding the UK experience in theEuropean ContextThis comparative study by Susanne Karstedt analyses the development of trust/ confidence injustice and the police across a number of European countries and between 1980 and 2008, usinginternational survey data. The findings demonstrate that trust in justice and the police in the UKdecreased between 1980 and 2000, and increased since then again. Analyses for different sociodemographicgroups as well as for salient attitudes corroborate the assumption that trust injustice/ the police is a so-called socio-tropic attitude, implying that actual and differing individualexperiences with the police and the justice system hardly impact on attitude change. Findings werepresented at the British Society of Criminology conference in 2009, and the American Society ofCriminology conference in 2009, in a panel organised by the British Society of Criminology, and atseminars and an international conference at the Institute of Criminology at Cambridge University.11
TEACHING RELATED INITIATIVESLydia Bleasdale-Hill was awarded a University Teaching Fellowship in 2010, with the associatedfunds (£4000) being used to examine the development and provision of pro bono (legalvolunteering) activities across several institutions. Academics and practitioners have beeninterviewed about their motivations for, and experiences of, developing and maintaining a range ofpro bono activities (including Legal Advice Clinics, Streetlaw, and international pro bono projects).The resulting report will provide a comprehensive and wide-ranging narrative of thoseexperiences, (including common themes to emerge from the interviews), and will serve as aresource for institutions wishing to establish, or expand upon, their provision of pro bonoactivities. The report will be hosted by the LawWorks website (http://www.lawworks.org.uk/), andfindings will also be disseminated at learning and teaching conferences.Stuart Lister was awarded the Postgraduate Certificate in Teaching and Learning by theUniversity of Leeds (Staff & Departmental Development Unit) in December 2009.Peter Neyroud and Professor Adam Crawford before the Frank Dawtry Memorial Lecture,December 2009.12
