Profile Articles Activity

My main research interests are in the area of sexual offending against children, including the dynamics of how offending behavior occurs, including grooming, and how it can best be managed. My work takes a socio-legal approach in examining not just legal and policy frameworks around 'risk' but the impact of cultural and societal values on our conceptions of and responses to sexual offending behavior. Recent projects include 'grooming' and the sexual abuse of children; desistance from sexual offending; sexual exploitation and abuse by children and young people; and apologies and inquiries as responses to institutional child abuse.
