Dr Sabri Sulaiman is a Senior Lecturer of Applied Sociology and Evidence-Based Intervention at the Department of Anthropology and Sociology, Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, University of Malaya (UM), Malaysia. Trained entirely at the University of Malaya (UM), where he completed his Bachelor’s degree in Social Administration and Justice (with a minor in Anthropology and Sociology), a Master’s in Social Intervention, and a PhD in Social Services, all from UM. His Master’s thesis examined Social Deprivation and the Social Well-being of Malaysian Children. His doctoral research on street-connected children contributed to the development of a Community-Based Social Care Model grounded in social rights, collective responsibility, and locally embedded systems of care. This work aligns with international debates on contextual safeguarding, prevention-oriented interventions, and socio-ecological approaches to child protection. His applied research and advisory roles extend to civil society and international organisations, reflecting his commitment to linking research with advocacy and policy reform. He has established an internationally recognised research profile, grounded in comparative, applied, and globally engaged sociology, spanning the Global South and the Global North.  As a sociologist and scholar of evidence-based interventions, his work examines life-course inequality, violence, health, social deprivation, well-being, and vulnerability among marginalised and socially excluded populations across the Global South and the Global North. He integrates rigorous sociological analysis with policy-relevant and practice-oriented intervention research to advance inclusive and evidence-informed solutions for children, youth, families, young adults, and persons with disabilities. His research also focuses on the measurement, causes, and consequences of poverty, inequality, deprivation, and social mobility, with particular attention to children, families, and other vulnerable groups. Central to his scholarship is the examination of how early-life adversity, family disruption, material deprivation, labour precarity, governance structures, violence, and social exclusion shape behavioural outcomes, educational trajectories, health, well-being, and long-term life chances across the life course. Drawing on applied and comparative sociology, he critically analyses how political economy, governance arrangements, public policy, legal systems, welfare regimes, and social care institutions interact to structure inequality and human development. Methodologically, he employs advanced applied statistical analysis and mixed-methods approaches, integrating quantitative and qualitative techniques to examine social behaviour, institutional dynamics, and intervention effectiveness. Through this interdisciplinary scholarship, he generates robust empirical evidence to strengthen social protection systems, promote equity, and advance social justice across diverse global contexts. His research spans child and family sociology, ageing and care, governance and human rights, population health, violence and protection, work and labour, digital sociology, and sustainable development. Through this interdisciplinary and comparative approach, he generates robust empirical evidence to strengthen social protection systems, promote equity, social well-being and advance social justice across diverse global contexts. Dr Sabri is actively engaged in national and international research, consultancy, and postgraduate supervision across these domains: Sociology of Children, Families, Ageing, and the Life Course: Examines family change, early childhood well-being, care, ageing, and intergenerational inequality. Focuses on how early-life adversity, deprivation, violence, disability, and social exclusion shape behavioural outcomes, education, health, and long-term life chances. Sociology of Population Health, Human Development, and Well-Being: Investigates how inequality, family conditions, labour markets, housing, and policy environments influence physical and mental well-being, particularly among socially and legally marginalised populations. Integrates sociological theory with applied policy and intervention research. Global and Comparative Sociology of Sustainability and Development: Applies comparative and global approaches to understand how capitalism, migration, displacement, climate change, social policy, and social protection regimes influence inequality and life-course outcomes across the Global South and North. Examines intersections of social structures, poverty, and sustainable development. Sociology of Violence, Vulnerability, and Protection: Analyses interpersonal, structural, and institutional violence, including domestic and family violence, child maltreatment, gender-based violence, labour exploitation, and elder abuse. Focuses on rights-based and evidence-informed approaches to prevention and protection. Sociology of Governance, Law, and Human Rights: Explores how legal frameworks, governance arrangements, and social policies shape access to services, institutional engagement, and social behaviour across marginalised populations, including children, families, and persons with disabilities. Sociology of Labour and Work: Investigates how labour markets, institutional practices, and inequalities intersect with social vulnerability, violence, exploitation, and the criminalisation of marginalised populations. Emphasises policy and intervention solutions to promote equitable work and protection. Sociology of Applied Statistics, Quantitative, and Mixed-Methods Research: Develops and applies advanced quantitative and qualitative methods to analyse inequality, social behaviour, institutional processes, and intervention effectiveness. Supports evidence-based policy and programme evaluation. In addition to his academic roles in research and teaching, he currently serves as a Consultant to the National Population and Family Development Board (LPPKN), Malaysia. He is currently leading major research initiatives, including: A Study on Risk Behaviours among At-Risk Adolescents in Malaysia, examining life-course vulnerabilities, well-being, and social behaviour, violence exposure, and prevention-oriented interventions; and Creating Inclusive Digital Education for Students with Disabilities in Higher Education Institutions in Malaysia, focusing on accessibility, equity, and rights-based digital inclusion in tertiary education. Dr Sabri is also the author of a forthcoming book, Community-Based Social Care Models for Protecting the Rights and Well-being of Street-Connected Children in Malaysia, which advances evidence-informed and rights-based approaches to child protection and social care practice. He has previously published "Deprivasi Sosial Kanak-kanak Malaysia," a pioneering work that examines social deprivation and child well-being from the children’s own perspectives, alongside policy and intervention strategies to reduce inequality and enhance social well-being. His work is internationally recognised, and he is an active member of the British Sociology Association, the Association of Southeast Asian Studies in the United Kingdom (ASEASUK), the Social Policy Association, the International Society for the Prevention of Child Abuse and Neglect (ISPCAN), the Malaysian Association of Social Workers (MASW), and the International Sociological Association (ISA).
