Dr Darren Mc Stravick

I have researched in conjunction with a number of governmental and non-governmental organisations. These have included the Association for Criminal Justice Research and Development with which I have collaborated in the submission of reports to the Irish Joint Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality on the topics of community policing and restorative justice.

I have also worked with the Northern Ireland Law Commission and managed their research and consultation programmes.

Previously I held the position of Lecturer in Law within the Socio and Legal Research Centre at Dublin City University.

I have published widely and presented at a number of national and international conferences. I specialise in the area of criminal law, and in particular the paradigm of restorative justice. I have also interests in human rights, contract law, sentencing and law of evidence.

I module-lead on the Criminal Law and Remedies and Legal Skills in Context modules and collaborate on other modules such as Mediation.

I am a member of the Police Encounter Panel which sits at Wimbledon police station and meets every few months to discuss and evaluate police camera footage of arrests.

I am currently the Director of the General LLM programme.
