\"David<\/p>\n

Dr David Fonseca<\/strong><\/span> holds a PhD in sociology from New York University (USA), a LL M from Utrecht University (The Netherlands) and a LL B from UFMG (Brazil). Before coming to QUT School of Justice, he was an Assistant Law Professor, teaching Criminal Law and Criminology in UFG (Brazil). Bringing together both a sociological and a legal background, his work adopts a socio-legal approach to criminal justice and investigates recent developments in punishment and crime control. In his previous research, he analysed the modernization process of the Brazilian society and its close relationship to patterns of punishment and social control, mostly in relation to the recent emergence of mass incarceration and high-crime rates in the country. Currently, he aims to broaden the scope of his research and engage in comparative work with the analysis of crime and incarceration trends in other postcolonial societies.<\/p>\n

\"Avatar<\/p>\n

Dr Angela Higginson<\/strong><\/span> holds a PhD in Criminology, a BA (Hons) in Psychology, a BA in Psychology and Philosophy, and a Graduate Certificate in Research Commercialisation.\u00a0Prior to joining the School of Justice, Angela was a Lecturer and Research Fellow at the University of Queensland. She has also worked within the public sector as the Principal Advisor Statistical Research and Analysis in the Department of Emergency Services.\u00a0Her PhD in Criminology was awarded by the University of Queensland in 2012, and developed statistical methods to understand patterns of Commonwealth fraud, working in partnership with the Australian Federal Police.\u00a0Angela\u2019s recent work focuses on policing and community processes for crime control, with a particular interest in the evaluation of policing practice through systematic reviews and meta-analysis. Much of her work is situated in a comparative framework, and examines the contextual differences between the Global North and South.<\/p>\n

Dr Monique Mann<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0graduated with a PhD from the ARC Centre of Excellence in Policing and Security (CEPS), Griffith University in 2015.
