I am currently the deputy chair of the Ethics Panel of the Mayor’s Office for Police and Crime  (LONDON POLICING ETHICS PANEL - Policing Ethics) and a panel member of the New Zealand Police Expert Panel on Emergent Technologies. My current project is a new book titled Revealing rape’s many voices; differing roles, reactions and reflections being written with Yvonne Shell and Terri Cole. This aims to give voice to the wider range of people caught up in the aftermath of a rape and includes victim/survivors; suspect/offenders; criminal justice practitioners; family and friends; support workers.
