He is particularly interested in transformative justice models for women with convictions and community-based interventions.
His recent publications reflect a strong focus on policing in the night-time economy, Project Vigilant, and the experiences of women within and beyond the justice system. Themes include police culture, misogyny, community responses, and the structural barriers faced by marginalized women.
