I worked for Group 4 Securicor for three years on the UK electronic offender monitoring programme, leaving in 2001 to do a PhD on the role of surveillance technologies in criminal justice. I worked at the John Grieve Centre for Policing and Community Safety at Buckinghamshire New University between 2001 and 2006 as a research consultant and senior lecturer in policing and joined Sheffield Hallam University in January 2007 as a senior lecturer in criminology. I am course leader for the BA (Hons) Criminal Justice Practice. My teaching and research interests include surveillance, policing, crime prevention and criminological theory which have led to the publication of two books: ‘Policing and Criminology’ (2011, with my Sheffield Hallam colleague, Ed Pollock) and 'Understanding the Electronic Monitoring of Offenders (2009).
