My overarching research interest is the application and impact of the law in society, using Qualitiative Research Methods. To date this work has taken a focus on International Security Law and Transnational Organised Crime (in particular Maritime Crime). I also have an interest in the way in which pop culture representations of law shape and reflect how society views and understands concepts of law and justice and their place in society.
