I write in a number of areas that overlap considerably, so it is difficult to group my publications by subject matter.  I've tried my best to do so below.  Note that some publications appear in multiple areas, and others don't appear at all.  For a full list of my publications, you can click here.

  • ACCESS TO JUSTICE
  • CRIMINAL LAW AND PROCEDURE
  • LAW SCHOOL AND EDUCATION
  • LEGAL CONSCIOUSNESS AND CULTURAL CAPITAL
  • MASCULINITY AND SEXUALITY, AND LEGALITY
  • PAROLE AND PRISONS
