Dr Richard Kjellgren

I am a Research Fellow at the Salvation Army Centre for Addiction Services and Research, University of Stirling.

My current work is focused on understanding mental health and substance use service access for people released from prison, using linked administrative health and justice data.

I have previously worked on various projects relating to policing organised crime, public protection and community justice. My PhD explored the role of online technologies in facilitating exploitation in the UK’s off-street sex markets, and was focused on improving our understanding of open-source intelligence in the policing of sex trafficking.
