Kirsty-Louise Cameron
Lecturer, Leeds Beckett University
Profile
Kirsty is interested in the overlap between criminal justice and social welfare, particularly in relation to antisocial behaviour and housing. Within this area, she is especially focused on how social divisions and vulnerability impact interventions into deviant or nuisance behaviour. Kirsty's background as a social housing practitioner led her to develop an interest in the management of antisocial or nuisance behaviours, recognising that the voices of alleged perpetrators of antisocial behaviour are often missing from academic and practice debate. To respond to this gap, Kirsty developed her current longitudinal research project, interviewing alleged perpetrator of antisocial behaviour living within social housing. Kirsty is particularly passionate about the impact of welfare sanction and antisocial behaviour intervention on individuals who could be classed as 'vulnerable', especially in relation to gender, disability, ethnicity or poverty and how these can intersect. She is currently completing her PhD and disseminating her research findings with local social housing providers, police and national advisory bodies.
