Interests

I am a lecturer in neurocriminology and deputy director of the Peterborough Adolescent and Young Adult Development Study (PADS+), a longitudinal study investigating the interaction between people and social environments in the development of crime-relevant characteristics and criminal behaviour. I am particularly interested in intuitive and reasoned aspects of decision making and relevant neuropsychological and genetic factors. My research draws together knowledge from biological, behavioural and social sciences to better understand the development and expression of antisocial and criminal behaviour.
