Areas of Research / Professional Expertise
-
My specialist areas of publication were the methodology of evidence gathering (in particular covert evidence gathering) in the criminal process. I draw attention to the movement from ex post facto evidence to the gathering of information to prevent crime or detect inchoate offending. This movement raises issues relating to personal privacy. I have written about governmental data acquisition, but the activities of security services are symbiotic with organisations such as Google and Facebook.
Personal Interests
-
Due process in the administration of justice, human rights and constitutional protections of those rights
