I've been teaching Criminology on post- and undergraduate level for 14 years at the University of Pretoria. I hold the following degrees: BA (Criminology), BA Honours (Criminology), MA (Criminology), DPhil (Criminology). I also have an MSc in Criminology and Criminal Justice from the University of Oxford (2003/2004). I'm comfortable with qualitative and quantitative research and have a keen interest in the functioning of the Criminal Justice System, youth misbehaviour, hate crimes and theories of crime. I supervise students on Masters and Doctorate level. Currently I teach contemporary criminology (e.g. human trafficking; risk society etc.), psycho-criminology (e.g. profiling; terrorism; mental disorders and crime etc.) and methodology on under- and postgraduate level. I have developed several other courses in all the different sub-fields in Criminology on post- and undergraduate level. I've initiated and implemented several crime prevention projects and generated funding from different role-players. I'm very passionate about Criminology and would like to see the science grow even more in future. I'm the vice president of The Criminological and Victimological Society of Southern Africa (CRIMSA). I've attended several International Criminology Conferences
