An investigation of the psychometric properties of the Learning Style Questionnaire is in press.

        External research collaboration with a forensic mental health practitioner and a consultant clinical psychologist has led to the evaluation of admission, discharge and follow-up data of 166 residents of an independent psychiatric hospital. Results and recommendations arising from this research are reported in a paper currently being revised for the Journal of Forensic Practice.

        Current research focuses on emotional intelligence and its relationship with stress, coping and psychological well-being in the workplace is centred around police-work and performance.
