Biography

Andrew’s research interests relate to criminal law, criminal procedure, and criminal law theory. His published work has focused in large part on criminalisation and its legitimacy, both in general and in specific contexts such as counter-terrorism law. More recently, his research has focused on prosecution decisions and how they are and should be structured by law and policy. This work forms part of a broader project examining the normative foundations of criminal procedure.

Andrew’s broader interests extend to comparative criminal law and to other aspects of criminal justice and punishment, as well as to related topics within legal, moral, and political philosophy. He welcomes proposals from prospective research students in his areas of interest, especially for projects relating to criminal law theory and/or criminalisation.

Andrew first moved to Edinburgh in 2012. Before that, he studied at the Universities of Warwick (PhD), Oxford (BCL) and Southampton (LLB).
