Welcome to my personal homepage.

I’m Professor of Law & Criminal Justice at the University of Strathclyde, Scotland.

I conduct original research and seek to inform and engage with policy, practice and public discourse.

My main interest is the relationship between law, discretionary decision-making and justice, especially in the context of criminal law, justice and process.

Key areas of my work are include:

• Sentencing & Punishment
• Penal Policy & Reform
• Judicial and quasi-judicial discretionary decision-making
• Prison and Release from Prison (eg Parole, ‘early release’)
• Pre-trial decision-making, especially the decision as whether to plead not guilty or guilty
• Defence Lawyer Work (including legal aid and access to justice) and Prosecution
• Pre-Sentence Investigations and Reports
• Technology and discretionary decision-making
