I am a qualitative sociologist whose current research examines the or­­gan­­i­­sa­­tion­­al re­sources, op­­er­­a­­tion­­al de­­mands and pro­­fes­­sion­al va­­lues that cir­­cum­­scribe the development and ap­p­li­­ca­­tion of dig­­i­­tal foren­­sics in po­­lice in­­ves­­ti­­ga­­tions in the UK. Long-term, I have been interested in the interface between forensic and operational cultures, and especially the contexts and ways in in which, outside the laboratory, forensic expertise is acquired and recognised in policing, and its impact on investigative practices.
