Professor Angus Nurse serves as a Professor in the School of Economics, Finance and Law at Anglia Ruskin University's Faculty of Business and Law, Cambridge. A Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy, he previously held leadership roles including Head of Criminology and Criminal Justice at Nottingham Trent University (2021-2023) and Associate Professor at Middlesex University's Department of Criminology and Sociology. His expertise lies at the nexus of law, criminology, and environmental justice.
His academic qualifications comprise a PhD in Criminal Justice from Birmingham City University, an LLM from the Open University, an MSc in Criminal Justice Studies from the University of Leicester, and a BA (Hons) in Humanities with Literature from the Open University.
Professor Nurse's research program critically examines:
- Environmental Law - air pollution regulation, environmental justice, and wildlife protection;
- Green Criminology - corporate environmental crime, wildlife trafficking, and species justice;
- Criminal Justice - miscarriages of justice, human rights conflicts, and critical criminology;
- Access to Justice - reparations, alternative dispute resolution, and Ombudsman schemes;
- Human Rights - fair trial rights and freedom of expression.
Analysis of his recent publications reveals a pronounced focus on corporate environmental crime ("greenwash"), wildlife protection mechanisms, and systemic racism in criminal justice. His 2021-2023 output demonstrates increasing integration of climate justice perspectives with traditional criminological frameworks, particularly regarding marine environments and institutional accountability.
Professor Nurse's recognition includes:
- Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy
He has successfully led multiple externally funded projects, including:
- £8,900 IFAW grant (2023) on wildlife crime prosecution
- £76,000 Defra commission (2018-2020) on dog ownership
- £29,000 League Against Cruel Sports project (2017-2020) on animal violence links
Professor Nurse actively shapes discourse through conference keynotes (e.g., European Society of Criminology 2023), media contributions to The Guardian and The Conversation, and leadership in the UK Centre for Animal Law's Wildlife Law Working Group.
