I am currently working on research that incorporates multidisciplinary perspectives on policing, security, and violence with several research streams, including:

• postcolonial, critical, and southern perspectives

• police governance in ‘hybrid’ regimes

• informality in policing and police institutional culture

• police pluralisation and militarisation

• migration

• resistance, dissent, and protests

• religious violence

• urban politics, crime, and insecurity

• counterterrorism and counterinsurgency

• state punitiveness and state crime
