Alistair is interested in policing, partnership working and community engagement, governance and accountability of police and public sector agencies, and the development of collaborative academic-practitioner research agendas.
A lot of his work draws from social learning theories. He is currently using interaction ritual theory to explore ‘encounters’ with policing. He also has interests in visual and literary representations of crime and justice.
