My research orientation is heavily focused on the interface that exists between criminal law, penology, and history. I am interested in tracing and examining histories of the present of conceptual ideas and governing principles that shape our current penal and criminal complex. This necessarily involves a fusion of legal, historical and sociological thinking.I have developed strong links with various organisations including the Fulbright Commission, An Garda Siochana, Criminal Assets Bureau, CEPOL, the European Committee for the Prevention of Torture and Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment, Mental Health Commission, the Inspector of Prisons, the IPRT, ACJRD, ICCL, the National Disability Authority, the Victims of Crime Unit in the Department of Justice and Equality, and Commission for the Support of Victims of Crime.
