BIO
I am Reader in Criminal Justice History, specialising in early policing systems including the Bow Street 'Runners'. I came to academia quite late in life; my first degree (in Ancient History and Archaeology) was awarded by the University of Birmingham in 1996 when I was 34 years old. I then completed a Masters in Modern History with the Open University before undertaking PhD research into the provincial activities of the Bow Street 'Runners' at Edge Hill, being awarded my doctorate in 2006.
I have worked as a researcher at Keele University and Plymouth University before being appointed as a Lecturer in Criminology at Wolverhampton in 2013.
I also have a keen interest in local history, being the former Editor of a local history journal, and am currently President of Wordsley History Society.
