Senior Lecturer in Psychology, Manchester Metropolitan University
I am a Senior Lecturer in Psychology and the Undergraduate Psychology Programme Leader at Manchester Metropolitan University.
My current research focuses on juror wellbeing and decision making.
My research interests lie in the provision of witness evidence. I am particularly interested in how evidence is provided in court, and the way in which jurors understand, evaluate and use evidence in their decision making process.
I have provided expert consultancy to a number of charities and organisations on the themes of witness and offender behaviour. For example, I have completed consultancy work for the charity InsideJustice examining potential false convictions in the UK criminal Justice System. Previous consultancy work involved working with the British Transport Police in the development of stop-and-search and counter-terrorism police training courses.
