Megan O\u2019Neill<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Megan O\u2019Neill is a Professor of Criminology in the School of Humanities, Social Science and Law at the University of Dundee. Her work focuses on aspects of police culture, stop and search, community policing, public sector pluralisation in policing, technology in policing, digital evidence and surveillance practices of the state. She has published in several journals, including The European Journal of Criminology, The British Journal of Criminology, Criminology and Criminal Justice, Policing and Society and Policing: A journal of policy and practice. She has published two monographs: Policing Football (2005) and Police Community Support Officers (2019). Prof O\u2019Neill has received funding from the Economic and Social Research Council, Horizon 2020 (Unity), Nordforsk (as PI) and most recently was the coordinator for a successful application to Horizon Europe (Clarus, now serving as Scientific Lead). Prof O\u2019Neill\u2019s work is largely qualitative, with a particular focus on ethnography, and blends theoretically informed research with applications for developing policing practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During her visit, Professor O\u2019Neill delivered an open lecture titled \u201cTurning the Titanic: Criminal Justice Cultures, Communication and the Digital Age,\u201d in which she explored the new challenges that emerging technologies pose for policing and criminal justice. In addition to the lecture, Professor O\u2019Neill participated in a seminar at the Digital Justice Center, where our young researchers presented their current work and received invaluable feedback.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
