Geoff is a research fellow in the University of York’s Mental Health and Addictions Research Group. His research focuses on drug treatment within criminal justice, and for people with particularly complex needs. Geoff’s interest in this area was initiated by the 1990s rave scene, which indirectly led to him working as an addictions counsellor with a caseload of criminal justice clients in the mid-2000s. After completing a PhD somewhere down South he came to York in 2013, and has subsequently greatly enjoyed working on several projects centred on drug treatment, prisons, and policing.
