Her research interests include Women who Kill, Gender and Crime, Capital Punishment, Race and Crime, Historical Criminology, and Cultural Criminology. She examines how crime and punishment are historically constructed through gendered and racialized lenses, particularly in colonial and postcolonial contexts. Her work often draws on archival research to uncover marginalized narratives in the justice system.
The recent articles reflect a consistent focus on the intersections of race, colonialism, and capital punishment, with a growing emphasis on postcolonial justice and the legacy of empire in British penal policy. Her publications span historical analysis, cultural critique, and theoretical innovation in criminology, often engaging with interdisciplinary frameworks from sociology, history, and postcolonial studies.
