- The Penal Voluntary Sector is a c. 85,000-word book, representing the culmination of three years of doctoral research and two years of writing under a Leverhulme Trust Early Career Fellowship (2015-2018). As the first monograph examining the sector, it is now considered a field-defining text, winning the 2017 BSC Book Prize. It draws heavily on documentary analysis of public sources and interviews with voluntary sector practitioners. It utilises a novel methodological approach, applying actor-network theory from science and technology studies to punishment, in order to provide a wide ranging, rigorous and interdisciplinary examination of this policy-relevant, little studied area.
