Kim Barnett
After completing my undergraduate degree and MRes in Criminology at Lancaster University I took a move away from academia and spent the following decade working in substance misuse and mental health services with offender populations. This led me to work both in the UK and New Zealand developing and delivering various programmes within female and male prisons, gang initiatives, the Drug Court, residential rehabilitation, and respite services. During this time my interest grew in understanding the aetiology of substance misuse, the effectiveness of treatment interventions and drug policy. This was a motivator to my recent transition into research. Currently, I am working as part of the team on the ‘Substance Misuse Services Evaluation in HMP Berwyn: a mixed method study’ whilst undertaking my PhD under the guidance and supervision of Professor Rob Poole, Professor Catherine Robinson, Dr Anne Krayer, and Dr Emily Peckham.
