I am Professor of Criminology at the Centre for Criminal Justice Studies, School of Law, University of Leeds, UK where I research and teach cybercrime, identity crime, organised crime, policing and intellectual property crime. I have published a wide range of 40+ articles and 10+ books on these subjects and I also have a sustained track record of interdisciplinary funded research in these areas from the EU FP6 & FP7, ESRC, EPSRC, AHRC & other funders, such as the Home Office and DSTL. I am currently concluding two EU funded research projects on the proceeds of organised crime (FP7, OCP) and the infiltration of legitimate economies by organised crime groups (EU Sec, ARIEL) with various European academic partners and policing agencies. I am also also conducting research for the EPSRC into Cybercrime (CeRes) and also (Contrails) Policing Cybercrime in the Cloud in collaboration with Newcastle University Centre for Cybercrime & Computer Security (CCCS) and Durham University. I am a member of various Governmental working groups, such as the Ministerial Working Group on Horizon Planning 2020-25, the Home Office Cybercrime Working Group (looking at issues of policy, costs and harms of crime and technology to society), and the HMIC Digital Crime and Policing working group.I am an Academician of the Academy of Social Sciences (FAcSS), a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts (FRSA). I re-joined the University of Leeds in August 2015 from Durham where I was Professor of Criminology (2010-2015) and Head of the School of Applied Social Sciences (2011-2014). Prior to moving to Durham I was Professor of Criminal Justice 2004+, Head of the School of Law (2005-2007) and Director of the Centre for Criminal Justice (2000-2005) at the University of Leeds.
