I am a PhD researcher in socio-legal studies. My thesis focuses upon UK moral panics of terrorism and the effects these may have upon public support for human rights protections and discourse of democratic values. My research aims to bring insight to the possible long term ramifications that short-lived, disproportionate social fears can have on legislation, social control and community cohesion.

Previously, I completed my BSc in Psychology with Criminology at University of Chester before moving to LJMU to obtain an MSc in Global Crime Justice and Security, where I submitted a dissertation which was a legislative comparative of UK/US counter-terrorism surveillance methods and the impact on human rights and civil liberties.

Currently, I am a course tutor with The Brilliant Club Scholars Program and a visiting lecturer of Criminology at University of Chester.
