Biography
I am an independent researcher in the fields of criminal justice and prisons working in the UK and internationally.
My 1997 Fellowship focused on crime prevention and restorative justice in the United States. My findings informed my then work as Director of Policy Research and Development at Nacro, as well as subsequent roles directing the Rethinking Crime and Punishment Programme at the Esmee Fairbairn Foundation and as Director of the International Centre for Prison Studies. The Fellowship was also particularly relevant to the work of the Youth Justice Board of which I was a member from 1998 to 2006.
The Fellowship provided the chance to see how innovative and constructive ways of preventing and dealing with crime could be developed in the United States despite a harsh policy context in law enforcement, something which has proved useful in the UK in the intervening years.
