I am a Research Fellow at the Salvation Army Centre for Addiction Services and Research, Â鶹´«Ã½AV. My current work is focused on understanding mental health and substance use service access for people released from prison, using linked administrative health and justice data.
I have previously worked on various projects relating to policing organised crime, public protection and community justice. My PhD explored the role of online technologies in facilitating exploitation in the UK¡¯s off-street sex markets, and was focused on improving our understanding of open-source intelligence in the policing of sex trafficking.
Administrative data research, public health approaches in criminology, exploitation, networks, quantitative methods, mixed-methods.
