Don John Omale serves as a Senior Lecturer in Criminology within the College of Business, Law and Social Sciences, focusing on critical issues in Nigerian and African criminal justice systems. His work bridges theoretical frameworks with practical field applications across diverse security and justice contexts. Dr. Omale's research centers on restorative justice mechanisms, police ethics, and conflict resolution in Africa. He extensively examines traditional African dispute resolution models alongside modern criminal justice challenges, with particular emphasis on Nigeria. His studies address farmer-herder conflicts, prison conditions, terrorism countermeasures, and domestic violence in semi-urban settings, consistently advocating for culturally grounded solutions that enhance community trust and institutional accountability. Analysis of his 15 most recent publications (2010-2025) reveals a dominant focus on restorative justice implementation and police accountability in Nigeria. His work demonstrates a methodological shift from theoretical discourse (2005-2011) toward empirical field studies examining practitioner perspectives and community-level impacts, particularly in conflict-affected regions like the Niger Delta and North Central Nigeria. The research consistently connects indigenous African conflict resolution traditions with contemporary security challenges. No scientific awards were documented in available sources Professional activities show no recorded student advising or grant funding in the provided materials, though his extensive publication record suggests active research supervision. His work frequently engages criminal justice professionals and community stakeholders, indicating collaborative field-based approaches to justice reform.

He also has a longstanding interest in social networks and how relational and contextual factors influence individuals' beliefs, opportunities, and actions. His additional research interests include ethnic conflict, belief formation processes, collective memory, fanaticism, and sociology through literature. Much of his work combines theoretical insights with empirical analysis to understand complex social phenomena. His recent publications demonstrate a consistent focus on radical right-wing politics, xenophobia, nationalism, and social network analysis. Rydgren frequently employs comparative and multi-method approaches to examine political behavior and social phenomena. His work often intersects political sociology with social network theory to understand how contextual factors shape political attitudes and behaviors. He has made significant contributions to understanding how social networks influence various outcomes, from political attitudes to health behaviors. Fellow of the Royal Swedish Academy of Letters Rydgren is currently the Principal Investigator (PI) of the research project "Why do working class voters support the populist radical right?" funded by the Swedish Research Council. Previously, he was PI for the ERC Starting Grant project "Individual Life Chances in Social Context: A Longitudinal Multi-Methods Perspective on Social Constraints and Opportunities" (2011-2018), which combined survey data and register data to study the importance of egocentric networks for young adults' life chances.
