Dr William Graham is a Senior Lecturer in Criminology, and the current Programme Leader of the Degree Programme. Dr Graham specialises in policing and criminal justice.
Dr Graham is a former Senior Police Officer, having retired from Strathclyde Police in 2010 after 30 years’ service. He held various positions including Deputy Manager of a multi-agency initiative designed to reduce gang violence across Glasgow.
Dr Graham’s research interests focus on policy transfer in international criminal justice - specifically violence prevention initiatives. His PhD research was an in-depth case study of the policy transfer of the Cincinnati Initiative to Reduce Violence (CIRV) to Glasgow.
He is also interested in all aspects of policing research and has recently carried out work on the policing of parades and demonstrations, and citizen engagement in policing.
Dr Graham was a Co-Investigator with a multi-university team examining the impact of organised crime on Scottish Communities that reported to the Government in May 2018. He is also an academic advisor to the National Violence Prevention Board.
In July 2018 Northamptonshire Police employed Dr Graham as a Consultant to advise them on the establishment of a violence reduction programme for gangs, building on his previous experience in the police in Glasgow and his PhD research.
Dr Graham carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of Braveheart Industries (Street and Arrow Cafe) in Glasgow on behalf of the Scottish Violence Reduction Unit, a social enterprise venture that trains ex-offenders in the workplace, reporting in April 2020.
He has also completed a major project on behalf of Police Scotland and The Scottish Police Authority, evaluating the Mobile Working Project for the police, which evaluated the roll out of mobile devices to officers replacing the paper notebooks. The report was submitted in December 2020.
Dr Graham is an Associate Member of the Scottish Centre for Criminal Justice Research, and a member of the Scottish Institute for Policing Research (SIPR), sitting on its Education and Leadership Network.
