I have long-standing interests in the crimes of the powerful elite, state-corporate crime and harm; and how crime and justice systems (locally and globally) are constructed to protect certain interests over others, whilst simultaneously exacerbating harms against already marginalised and vulnerable groups within society. 

My work focuses on challenging state-corporate crime and harm, white-collar crime and spans a number of related areas such as the criminalisation of children, homelessness, drug usage (medical cannabis) and immigration.

I am impassioned by criminology and social justice movements and this passion is reflected in my research and publications. In recent work, I have shone a light on the lack of truth, justice and accountability around (ongoing) harms resulting from the Grenfell ‘tragedy’, SNC-Lavalin ‘Affair’ and the Primodos, Mesh and Valproate ‘Scandals’. 

In an explicit attempt to move beyond criminology, I draw upon techniques from across the disciplines including a zemiological approach to evidence the social, political and economic context (historical and geographical prevalence) in which harms, including those labelled as crimes, are produced and interwoven into society via socio-economic inequality. 

In doing so, my research and publications endevour to provide a fresh approach to the challenges, problems and injustices faced by people in their day-to-day lives, whilst contributing and adding to the body of research within my areas of study.
