Giovanni A. Travaglino

I am Professor of Social Psychology and Criminology and Director of the Institute for the Study of Power, Crime, and Society at Royal Holloway, University of London. In my research, I investigate the legitimization of criminal governance, political radicalization, and the implications of cultural ideologies across countries. In 2021, I was awarded the European Research Council StG grant for his project “Secret Power” (funded by UKRI), which examines how communities respond to criminal authority in Italy, the United Kingdom, and Japan.
