I have been a Reader (Associate Professor) in Criminology at Manchester Metropolitan University, UK, since 2011. In the 15 years prior to that, I was involved in conducting applied criminological research at: Applied Research in Community Safety (ARCS); Nacro; Keele University; the University of Manchester; and the University of Salford. My current research investigates the relationship between childhood trauma and substance use and violent behaviour in adolescence.
