The Centre for the Study of Emotion and Law is an independent research centre. Our aim is to provide the best available psychological science to lawyers, judges and policy makers in order to improve the quality of decision making and ensure access for all to equal protection in the law. Our work to date focuses primarily on the asylum process, and we plan to extend our remit to include survivors of trafficking and sexual assault. We uphold the highest standards of empirical research, using established methodologies and submitting our studies to ethical scrutiny and peer review processes. In this way we can be confident that we are making available the best possible scientific knowledge to legal decision making processes. We do not receive any statutory funding. All of our income is generated through research grants, charitable trusts and foundations, and individual donors. -- CURRENT PROJECTS CREDO II Having worked with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) in an expert scientific advisory capacity on the CREDO project, which aimed to improve credibility assessment procedures across the EU asylum system, we are now working closely with them on CREDO II, which has a similar aim, but focuses in particular on the asylum cases of unaccompanied minors. Evidence into Practice Through EiP we deliver training to legal professionals and voluntary sector workers across the UK in using CSEL research in their work to support people seeking asylum. This project also includes wider dissemination through our quarterly newsletter and research digest.
