Abu Bakker Siddiq is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Law at Comilla University, Bangladesh. My research lies at the intersection of the sociology of punishment, criminal justice, social stratification, and institutional inequality, with a particular focus on prisons, prisoners' rights, and the experiences of marginalized populations. My work examines how institutional practices and structural inequalities shape the experiences of incarceration, access to justice, and opportunities for rehabilitation and reintegration. I have conducted research on prison overcrowding, prisoners' physical and mental well-being, family visitation and prisoner reformation, and the challenges of establishing an inclusive criminal justice system for Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh.

My teaching interests include Criminology and Criminal Justice, Introduction to Sociology, and Human rights . I am particularly interested in integrating empirical research into socio-legal research through qualitative and quantitative methodologies. I aim to advance interdisciplinary research bridging law, criminology, and sociology. My long-term goal is to pursue doctoral research in criminology and sociology, developing theoretically informed and methodologically rigorous empirical research on punishment, social inequality, and the institutional processes that shape the lives of incarcerated and marginalized populations, particularly in the Global South.
