Peace justice and strong institutions 2020

The University of Huddersfield is, itself, a strong institution. There is elected representation from the Student Union, and from faculty, and staff (non-faculty employees) at the highest levels in the University, on the University Senate, and the University Council has representation from amongst these elected student, faculty and staff members.
We recognise the Huddersfield Students’ Union as representative of our students.

The University has an Anti-Bribery, Corruption and Fraud policy, which it publishes on its website.

The University publishes its Annual Report and Accounts, maintaining full financial transparency.

The University of Huddersfield has a wide range of expertise through which it contributes locally, nationally and internationally in areas relevant to SDG16. For example, Prof Paul Thomas of the Huddersfield Centre for Research in Education and Society undertakes research which focuses mainly on state policies around young people and multiculturalism, racism, community cohesion, and the prevention of extremism, and particularly on how ground-level policy-makers and practitioners mediate and enact such state policy agendas.Prof Adele Jones leads None-in-3, a global research centre working to end gender-based violence, using research to develop and evaluate computer games as educational tools for violence prevention. And Prof Jason Roach of the Applied Criminology and Policing Centre (ACPC) leads work in areas including: criminal investigation, Evidence-Based Policing, designing out crime, preventing crime and antisocial behaviour, counter- terrorism, violent extremism and hate crime, Self-Selection Policing, Nudge psychology, sex offending, youth crime and wildlife crime. Colleagues’ work feeds into advice to governments, in the UK and overseas, and to official agencies and NGOs, and shapes policy and practice.
