Research Profile

Mr Trevor Jones 


Career Profile

I started my research career at the independent Policy Studies Institute (PSI) in London, where I undertook research in two main areas – policing and labour market studies. The former included studies of police accountability, international comparisons of police governance, private security and policing, and youth crime prevention; the latter included studies of youth unemployment, and the labour market positions of ethnic minority groups. I was a lecturer in criminology for a year in the Centre for Law and Society, Edinburgh University for the academic year 1997/8, before joining the Cardiff School of Social Sciences in 1998.
