About
I have worked at Sheffield Hallam University since 2006 in various academic roles. I am currently Principal Lecturer and Deputy Head of Area for Policing and Probation and Employer Placements Lead for the Department of Law and Criminology. I have been a member of the Independent Monitoring Board for Prisons (IMB) since July 2003 and held several local and National roles. I am Chair of my current Board and a member of the IMB National Learning and Development Team.
My teaching interests are in policing and criminology at undergraduate, degree apprenticeship, graduate diploma and post-graduate levels and I also undertake doctoral supervision. In my role as Deputy Head of Policing and Probation I am responsible for the operational management and delivery of our Criminal Justice Learning (probation) course and our undergraduate, graduate diploma and degree apprenticeship policing courses.
My research and teaching interests are in criminology, policing, sentencing and penology. I have several publications including two jointly-authored books on policing and a co-authored special edition of the journal Policing: A Journal of the Policy and Practice on policing and mental health.
I have also worked collaboratively on a range of University funded Learning, Teaching and Assessment projects focused around enhancing the student experience, enquiry-based learning, autonomous learning and work-related learning and graduate employability.
