Scholarly and Research Interests

My research interests lie broadly in criminal justice and how it deals with suspects, defendants and offenders. I have particular interests in...

• the remand process
• electronic monitoring
• drugs
• prisoner's resettlement
• prisons
• community sentences
• compliance and procedural justice
• and public and voluntary sector involvement in criminal justice.

I have been awarded in excess of £1.3 millon pounds in research grants. I have carried out research for the Ministry of Justice, Home Office, Youth Justice Board, HM Prison Service, Probation Boards, West Yorkshire Police, G4S and a range of voluntary organisations.

I am currently researching pre-charge bail in partnership with West Yorkshire Police and running an ESRC funded seminar series on 'The Third Sector in Criminal Justice' (with Alice Mills (University of Auckland) and Mary Corcoran (University of Keele)).

Teaching

My teaching areas are in criminal justice and penology.

I am module coordinator for Introduction to Criminal Justice (level 1) and Penology (level 3) at undergraduate level and for Criminal Justice Processes, Contemporary Imprisonment and Offenders in the Community at Master's level.

PhD Supervision

I have supervised PhD students successfully and welcome the opportunity to supervise students in the broad area of criminal justice and particularly in areas directly related to my research interests.
