Greg Los

Dr Los is a Lecturer in Criminology with a broad interest in drug policy. His work focuses predominantly on explaining stability and change in drug policy with theories found in public policy, as well as more critical approaches. He is also interested in outcomes of policy change in terms of public health, and the best ways of measuring them empirically. In the past, he was also involved in projects focusing on violence in the night-time economy, quantifying perceptions on drugs amongst adolescents, and exploring the perceptions of immigrant communities on crime using secondary data (CSEW). 

Dr Los received a BA (Hons.) in Criminal Justice and Criminology from the University of Kent, an MPhil in Criminological Research from the University of Cambridge, and a Ph.D. in Criminology from the University of Kent.

I teach criminology to undergraduate students. I predominantly use traditional teaching techniques like lectures, seminars, and workshops. I try to make them interactive, and I place a lot of emphasis on methodology, as well as contemporary examples in all areas of my teaching. The modules that I am teaching on for the academic year 2021/2022, include: 

SS427 – Criminal Justice Matters

SS659 – Critical Addiction Studies for Criminology

SS425 – Theories of Crime

SS563 – Punishment, Power and the State
