Elizabeth Stanley works in the areas of state crime, human rights, incarceration and justice. She held a prestigious Rutherford Discovery Fellowship from 2014-2019, and is currently Director of the Institute of Criminology, and Deputy Head of the School of Social and Cultural Studies.
Taking an approach to work directly with victims of state crime, she has undertaken studies on state abuse and incarceration in NZ and the UK, and her work in South Africa, Chile and Timor Leste has focused on torture, truth commissions and international court processes. She has written on climate migration and justice, and her current work revolves around the toleration of state harms.
Her work is highly regarded for its originality, quality and social impact. Alongside regular media commentaries and interviews, she is often invited to speak at conferences and community events. As well as many journal articles and book chapters, her books include: 'The Aotearoa Handbook of Criminology' (Auckland University Press, 2021; with Trevor Bradley and Sarah Monod de Froideville); ‘Human Rights and Incarceration’ (Palgrave, 2018); ‘State Crime and Resistance’ (Routledge, 2013; with Jude McCulloch) and ‘Torture, Truth and Justice’ (Routledge, 2009). Her monograph ‘The Road to Hell: State Violence against Children in Post-War New Zealand’ (Auckland University Press, 2016) contributed to the 2018 establishment of a NZ Royal Commission into Abuse in Care.
