Danny Singh

My research interests are largely in politics and international relations concerning the ethics of military intervention, the impacts of democratisation and elections and criminology related to police corruption, state corruption and methods of crime control. In particular, I research police corruption in developing and war-torn states and how it impacts on poverty, development and terrorism. My studies include mechanisms of crime control within indigenous environments, namely in developing and war-torn contexts. Moreover, I research on other criminology-related disciplines. These include international terrorism and human rights.
