Trosolwyg

I have a distinguished track record of research in a range of criminological areas and, in particular, have built an international reputation for excellence in basic and policy-oriented research on money laundering, corruption, cybercrimes, transnational organised crime and white-collar crimes.  

I have played an advisory role both internationally (with the European Commission, Europol, Council of Europe, UN and World Economic Forum) and nationally (with the UK Home Office and Cabinet Office, and with the Crime Statistics Advisory Committee).
