Scholarly and Research Interests

My research interests centre around the interconnections between crime policy and social policy. At present I am conducting research on problem drug use and welfare reform and I am writing up findings from projects on the resettlement of prisoners and the street policing of problem drug users.

I am also interested in the criminological research process, criminal justice-policy-making and employability of criminology/criminal justice graduates.

Teaching

I am module convenor for Crime and Social Exclusion (Level 1), Criminology (Level 2) and Criminal Justice Policies, Perspectives and Research (Postgraduate). I also contribute to Understanding Crime (Level 1).

I supervise dissertations for the BA and MA programmes in Criminal Justice and Criminology.

PhD Supervision

I am currently supervising four PhD students undertaking research on youth offending, fashion counterfeiting, women and electronic monitoring and the resettlement of older offenders.

I am happy to supervise research students (MA. MPhil and PhD) in line with my interests outlined above.
