Research / Scholarly interests
Jack works in academic and clinical settings to research the treatment of justice-involved people with mental disorders. His research interests relate to forensic mental health patients’ experiences of care, procedural justice and legitimacy, and mental health in the criminal justice system. He works with patients, clinicians and scholars, and uses a variety of research methods in projects with colleagues in the U.K., Germany and elsewhere. These interests are underpinned by values of social justice, equity in healthcare and evidence-based rehabilitation.
Jack is currently working on projects to explore the applicability of procedural justice theory in forensic mental health settings, outcomes for conditionally discharged forensic patients, trauma-informed practice in prisons, and factors that influence student attitudes towards criminal justice involved persons with mental illnesses.
