Research: Overview
My research sits at the intersection of policing, migration, and state legitimacy, with a particular focus on the inter-Asia context and diaspora communities. I have published across policing studies and public health, with work appearing in leading journals including Policing and Society, International Journal of Law, Crime and Justice, and Policing: A Journal of Policy and Practice.
Doctoral Research
My doctoral project, New Home, New View(s)? A Qualitative Study of Hongkonger Migrants' Trust in the Police in the United Kingdom, draws on 40 in-depth interviews and participant observation with BN(O) visa holders to examine how experiences of political rupture shape migrants' encounters with policing in a new home.
Broader Research
My broader research examines policing in the inter-Asia context, focusing on police legitimacy, oversight mechanisms, private/public policing, and community policing. I also contribute to interdisciplinary collaborations in public health.
