Addysgu

I have been centrally involved in the design as well as the delivery of the single honours degree programme in criminology in Cardiff University's School of Social Sciences and its MSc in Crime, Safety and Justice. This involvement reflects my pedagogic interests in the interrelationship of theory, method and data, how this can distinguish the social sciences from other narratives about social life and how it can facilitate their contribution to deliberative democracy.
