Sex Work Research: The Centre for Criminal Justice and Criminology produces new knowledge on sex work in Wales. Professor Sagar and Debbie Jones have worked with statutory bodies and front line agencies in a multi-agency capacity to provide an evidence base towards the development of policy and practice for sex workers who work both on and off street.
External Engagement: Collaborative work has produced a solid knowledge base regarding the sex markets in Wales and has led to the sharing of innovative ideas and practice. The CCJC has hosted several events for this purpose.
Student Sex Work Project: Professor Sagar and Debbie Jones were awarded £489,000 by the Big Lottery Innovation Grant for the 'Student Sex Work Project' which pursues the development of innovative research, service development and creative dissemination.
