International Policing and Public Protection Research Institute (IPPPRI)
Colleen is a Senior Researcher at IPPPRI (International Policing and Public Protection Research Institute) whose current research interests are related to sexual violence, particularly victim/survivor perspectives and experiences.
After working as a researcher at Cambridge University’s Institute of Criminology, Colleen joined ARU in 1999.
Colleen developed and wrote the Criminology undergraduate degrees and was Deputy Head of the School of Humanities and Social Sciences for 17 years, overseeing Criminology and Policing undergraduate and Master’s degrees. She has taught on a variety of modules and is currently seconded to IPPPRI.
Colleen has been awarded two Vice Chancellor’s Awards, a highly commended VC award, a Dean’s award, and an Innovation and Knowledge Exchange Award.
Colleen’s research explores some of the ways in which women cope with the impact of sexual violence. Colleen is currently examining the contexts through which silence and articulating that which is 'unspeakable' is embedded into women's lives, narratives and sexual scripts. Colleen is currently contributing to several active research projects, including conflict-related sexual violence in Ukraine; the voice and memories of victims of rape and sexual violence; experiences of families of people under investigation for viewing and/or possessing abusive child abuse material.
Colleen’s previous research has examined the repositioning of victims into one of a deviant, even criminal actor, especially when morals and sexual conduct are scrutinized, sexual exploitation and trafficking. In addition, previous research has focused on the age of criminal responsibility; parole and the discretionary lifer process; young people and their treatment in the youth justice system; and community service evaluation.
Colleen is currently at capacity for research supervision.
