About

I am a Senior Lecturer in Social and Community Studies and part of the BA (Hons) Youth Work and Community Development team. I have over twenty years of experience working in a variety of settings with young people and communities. This ranges from performing arts-based youth empowerment projects and residential camps to faith-based youth clubs and prison-based work with young offenders. Prior to academia, I was a criminal justice practitioner working first as a Probation Officer, then in a specialist multi-agency team within the counter-terrorism-related arena, and latterly with juvenile and young adult offenders in both the community and custodial settings as a senior project manager in a faith-based VCSE.

Professional interests

Through my criminal justice system networks and membership of the Alliance for Youth Justice and National Association of Youth Justice, I continue to take a keen and active interest in current criminal justice issues that affect young people such as desistance and children, knife crime, gangs, county lines, youth offending and the use of short prison sentences. This involves engaging in relevant workshops, events and high-profile meetings such as the APPG's on Knife Crime and Youth Affairs and the political lobbying for a new statutory youth service.
