Research

Overview

Andrew is currently working on two studies within the ESRC Vulnerability and Policing Futures Research Centre. The first project is focused on mental health and routine police work, aiming to illustrate the techniques, models and intervention methods used by the police when responding to people with mental health vulnerabilities. The second project is focused on modern slavery, aiming to explore how preventative approaches could reduce demand on police services over the longer term.

Andrew’s previous research has used mixed methods to study vulnerable populations, including people who use drugs, people living with dementia, young people, and indigenous people. His research and impact activities have been funded by the NIHR, the Economic and Social Research Council, the Natural Environment Research Council, UK Research and Innovation, and the Royal Geographic Society.
