      • Biography &
        Qualifications

        Dr David Porteous began his academic career as a researcher with the Policy Research Institute at Leeds Metropolitan University in 1990. In 1996 he moved to the University of Luton (now Bedfordshire), initially as a researcher then as Lecturer in Criminology. He joined Middlesex University in 2003 and became a Principal Lecturer in 2008. His principal field of study has been youth crime and youth justice and has included studies of the relationship between school exclusion and youth offending, the victimisation of children and young people and the effectiveness of mentoring as a form of youth crime prevention. His PhD by Published Works, entitled 'Utopian Youth Justice' (awarded January 2014) synthesised his work in this area. Other recent research includes an evaluation of the placement of Polish police officers with the Metropolitan police and a qualitative study of lifelong cannabis users.
