Yr Athro Stewart Field

Professor of Law

: Ar gael fel goruchwyliwr ôl-raddedig

Stewart Field became a lecturer at Cardiff in 1984 after undertaking Doctoral research funded by the ESRC at the Centre for Socio-Legal Studies, Oxford. He had previously obtained an M Phil in Criminology at Cambridge after a first degree in Law at Oxford University. His PhD `Legal Forms, Legal Ideology and the Early Factory Inspectorate' used an historical case-study to examine the interaction between social conflict and legal forms. Professor Field's research interests are in various areas of comparative criminal justice. He has co-authored two monographs and co-edited five collections of essays as well as publishing articles on a variety of criminal justice topics including detailed bilateral comparative studies focussing on the Netherlands, France and Italy. Professor Field has been a member of the Editorial Board of the Journal of Law and Society since 1989 and is currently Director of the Cardiff Centre for Crime Law and Justice. He is writing a book with Professor David Nelken (King's College London) 'Comparing juvenile justice: making sense of leniency and punitiveness.' It is based on a bilateral empirical study of youth justice in Italy and Wales funded by the ESRC, AHRC and the Italian Ministry of Education. Professor Field's most recent book was 'The transformation of criminal justice: a comparison of France and England and Wales' (L'Harmattan, Paris 2011) written with Dr Renaud Colson from the University of Nantes and which examines the developing discourses around procedural fairness, repressive efficacy and managerial efficiency in the two jurisdictions. The research was part-funded by the British Academy and La Mission de recherche Droit et Justice (a joint initiative of French Ministry of Justice and CNRS).
