As an academic I believe that it is my job to explore, examine and provide the evidence that people need to make things better and services and interventions more impactful. That work has taken me all over the world, looking particularly at restorative justice and the ways it can help respond to violence, conflict and harm.
At Gloucestershire I am UoA 21 Sociology lead for the University’s REF submission, and further afield I am a member of the Advisory Board for the All-Party Parliamentary Group for Restorative Justice and an elected Trustee of the Restorative Justice Council, where I sit on the National Research Board.
Undergraduate:

My research programme centres on restorative justice and practice, with particular expertise in restorative justice in schools, policing, prisons and probation, violence against women and girls, post-conflict peacebuilding, and models of restorative provision. I work with policy makers, universities and third sector partners in places including the UK, Ireland, Estonia, the Netherlands, Finland, the USA, Sierra Leone, New Zealand.
