Dr Jack Lampkin
Lecturer in Criminology
/prod01/yorksjacuk/media/content-assets/staff-profile-images/Jack-Lampkin.jpg)
I am a Lecturer in Criminology at York St John University where I have also worked as a Lecturer in Police Studies and Course Lead for the Police Constable Degree Apprenticeship (PCDA) in partnership with Humberside Police. Prior to joining YSJ, I was Programme Lead for the Degree Holder Entry Programme (DHEP) at Leeds Trinity University, working in collaboration with West Yorkshire Police. I have also worked as a Lecturer in Policing, Law, and Criminology at Teesside University and the University of Lincoln. In 2019, I worked as a Police Constable for West Yorkshire Police serving the Leeds District including Leeds South and Leeds City Centre.
Prior to joining the Police, I obtained a PhD in law at the University of Lincoln where I published several times in the area of green criminology and environmental crime. In November 2020 I published my first book “Uniting Green Criminology and Earth Jurisprudence.”

Research
I am currently working on developing the academic areas of Astro-Green Criminology and Space Criminology with esteemed Professor Rob White from the University of Tasmania, and our first book on the topic will be published in 2023. I am an expert in space law and the criminology of outer space and I am interested in PhD candidates and publishing partners who are also interested in these unique and understudied areas of criminology.
I am also an expert in fracking and completed my PhD on the subject of fracking and environmental harm at the University of Lincoln, UK, in 2018.
