My current teaching activities include criminal law and gender, sexuality on the law on the LLB, and law and society on the Foundation degree.
I am also module leader for Police constable and the law on the Police Constable Degree Apprenticeship.
My research interests are partial defences to murder, and consent/sexual offences. My research often involves a comparative element, in particular with USA or Australian territories.
My current research project looks at abused children who commit parricide.
