Peter Marsh

Peter Marsh was a social psychologist. After carrying out various research projects at the department of psychology in Oxford, he moved on in 1979 to become a senior lecturer in the subject at Oxford Polytechnic (now Oxford Brookes University). Much of his research was concerned with increasing our understanding of the root causes of violence, especially among young people. NOT to be confused with fellow UK academic Peter Marsh (2) who specialised in child care and family welfare.
