Dr Kajsa E Dinesson
Lecturer in Law
I joined York Law School in 2023. Prior to this I was teaching and completing my PhD research at the University of Edinburgh.
My research involves criminal law theory as well as socio-legal empirical research. My work to date has particularly focused on anti-terror law and policy. I have a particular interest in police and prosecutorial discretion and sentencing in this context. My current areas of interests include discretion; autism and terror-law in policing, prosecutions, and sentencing; and evidence in the terror context. I have research experience from academia as well as from government policy.
I currently teach across criminal law, criminology, legal phiolosophy, and mental health and capacity law.
My research interests centre on criminal law in theory and in practice. I have a particular interest in anti-terror law and policy, with ongoing work exploring discretion in the criminal process with a focus on neurodiverse young defendants and pre-preparatory terrorism offences. Other ongoing projects include examining the prosecutorial role in the criminal justice process, and outlining a social harm approach to countering terrorism.
