Professor Phil Scraton is Professor Emeritus at the School of Law at Queen's University Belfast. A criminologist and author, he's director of the Childhood, Transition and Social Justice Initiative and was lead researcher of the Hillsborough Independent Panel.

Born into a working class family in Wallasey in the Wirral in 1949, he attended a seminary at the age of 12. Deciding the religious life was not for him he worked as a bus conductor before attending Liverpool University where he read Sociology.

His early work with Travellers and Liverpool's black community led to an interest in deaths in custody and prison conditions. Then, following the Hillsborough disaster in 1989 he would spend the next 28 years researching and writing about the disaster - his book Hillsborough: The Truth was first published in 1999. The Hillsborough Independent Panel's 2012 report led to a second inquest which concluded in April 2016 that the 96 people who died had been unlawfully killed and that fans behaviour had not contributed to the disaster in any way.

Phil and his partner, Deena, have lived in Belfast since 2003. He has two grown-up sons from his first marriage.



菲尔-斯克拉顿教授是贝尔法斯特女王大学法律学院的名誉教授。作为一名犯罪学家和作家，他是童年、过渡和社会正义倡议的主任，并且是希尔斯堡独立小组的首席研究员。

1949年，他出生在威勒尔的瓦拉西（Wallasey）的一个工人家庭，12岁时参加了一个神学院。他决定宗教生活不适合他，在进入利物浦大学攻读社会学之前，他做过公交车售票员。

他早期在游民和利物浦黑人社区的工作使他对拘留中的死亡和监狱条件产生了兴趣。然后，在1989年希尔斯堡灾难发生后，他花了28年时间研究和撰写关于这场灾难的文章--他的《希尔斯堡。真相》于1999年首次出版。希尔斯堡独立小组2012年的报告导致了第二次调查，该调查于2016年4月得出结论，96名死者是被非法杀害的，球迷的行为没有以任何方式促成这场灾难。

菲尔和他的伴侣迪娜自2003年以来一直住在贝尔法斯特。他在第一次婚姻中有两个长大的儿子。
