Personal profile
Research Interests
My research focuses on children, youth crime and youth justice. I am dedicated to understanding the factors contributing to youth offending and the effectiveness of various justice interventions. My work involves exploring the implementation and impact of youth justice policies and strategies, with a particular interest in how these approaches can be tailored to meet the needs of young people. I utilise a range of methodologies, including mixed-methods analysis, to gather insights from diverse stakeholders and inform the development of evidence-based practices that promote positive outcomes for children and young people involved in the justice system.
