I am interested in the crimes of the powerful elite 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, white-collar crime and spans a number of related areas such as the criminalisation of: children, homelessness, drug usage and immigration. In an explicit attempt to move beyond criminology, a zemiological approach is drawn upon to evidence the social, political and economic context in which harm (including crime) is produced and interwoven into society via socio-economic inequalities.
