CURRENT PROJECTS<br />
I am currently engaged in a study of genocide and, with Sandra Walklate, a study of intersections of genocide with<br />
victimology.<br />
With Paul Rock of the London School of Economics, I co-edit a series of books, the Compact Criminology Series,<br />
published by Sage UK. The first volumes appeared in 2010.<br />
At the School of Criminology and Criminal Justice, in addition to teaching, I run a writing seminar for the junior<br />
faculty and offer workshops for dissertation students..<br />
