Research Interests: Professor Hannah-Moffat’s research is concerned with the increased use of risk-based technologies of governing, and of self-governing technologies, such as the empowerment that seeks to govern-at-a-distance. She is also interested in how risk-based government combines with other established and emergent penal strategies (i.e. punitive, gender responsive, rehabilitation and restorative justice) and how these new technologies impact social policy and create new patterns of governance. Her theoretical interest in risk and gender informs empirical examinations of local institutional cultures. She uses data from 500 male and female case file. Of interest are the relationships between gender, diversity, social disadvantage, |
