I am interested in all aspects of human security. In particular, I focus upon the role of public and private policing agencies in shaping collective order. I am interested in the powers, culture and accountability of public and private policing agencies. Looking at trends in policing tells us a lot about current directions in politics and economics at home and abroad.

Research information:

I'm currently examining the role and treatment of information in public policy and operations in criminal justice: statistics, databases, registries, administrative operational data, research results etc. This information arises and is used as evidence in investigations and decisions of a wide range of police, judicial and correctional institutions. I am particulary interested in the validity and reliability of information and of procedures for its use, as well as implications for rights to privacy.
