Author of Beyond Youth Custody framework for youth reentry specialise in applied research involving young people and families, including: a study of young offenders’ views of their experiences in youth justice (funded by the ESRC) and a Britain-wide study of parental discipline (ESRC). Since 2003, I have focused on youth inclusion and youth justice. I have published on both youth justice and family/health services, including two cross-national comparisons of youth justice systems (1998 & 2008), a book on support for Parenting in Poor Environments (2002), and recent reports and policy briefings on resettlement of young offenders after custody. I was a consultant to the National Audit Office review of youth justice.I have directed or managed more than 25 funded research projects, including several complex national evaluations in youth inclusion/justice: National evaluation of custodial regimes (for Youth Justice Board), Assessment of the Detention and Training Order (Youth Justice Board), Evaluation of RESET (Catch 22). I\'m currently leading the biggest ever study of children\'s experiences of crime in Britain (Nuffield Foundation).My research has focused on providing useful policy and practice messages for both government (e.g. DoH, Home Office, MoJ, Treasury, Scottish Government, Welsh Government) and the ‘third sector’ (e.g. Nacro, Catch 22, Family Holiday Association, Action for Children, NSPCC, Joseph Rowntree Foundation and Capability Scotland).
