Research Interest
My research currently has two strands: 1. Cognitive skills programmes for offenders within community and custodial settings, including outcome and process evaluation. The investigation of the correlates of and reasons for attrition from offending behaviour programmes. Offender's perspectives of their contact with prison and probation during their sentence. 2. Victimisation using emerging technologies e.g. cyberbullying, sexting, online victimisation including revenge pornography and sexual exploitation.
