Kris Christmann
I’m a Senior Research Fellow at the Department of Security & Crime Science at UCL. I have over two decades of research experience in the counter-terrorism/security and crime prevention fields. I have undertaken work, with colleagues, for various UK Government Departments (Home Office, OSCT, YJB, DfE), The European Commission (Landsec), The European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA) and a range of other funders (CREST, and for various Police Forces and research councils). I have acted as an ‘Expert Evaluator’ for the European Commission on Preventing and Countering Violent Radicalisation (€5 million budget) and have acted as a reviewer for the Campbell Collaboration (Criminal Justice evidence synthesis). I also sit on the Editorial Board for The British Journal of Community Justice and am an Article Editor for the journal.
I’m currently working with 3PO colleagues in researching the types of risks and harms police officers and their families can face from being online (particularly using social media) with the purpose of developing advanced tools and measures to mitigate such harms.
I’m also working with colleagues at the Centre for Resilient Societies (CRIS) at Deakin University, Melbourne, on a new international study examining contemporary recruitment processes to violent extremism. The aim of this research is to develop a new model that updates our understanding of how terrorist recruitment works across different ideological and technological platforms.
I support the ongoing academic (and consumer) boycott of Israel.

Studies suggest that maintaining family ties can help reduce the likelihood of reoffending, and that while parental imprisonment can increase a child’s likelihood to offend, positive responses to the situation can aid the children’s well-being, attitude and attainment. Drawing on findings from the recently completed EU-funded COPING Project on the mental health of children of prisoners, this chapter explores the factors that aid a child’s ability to cope with parental imprisonment and the actions that different stakeholders can take to support them. It identifies some of the mental health impacts at different stages of parental imprisonment, the roles played by non-imprisoned parents/carers and by schools, and suggests options for further clarifying the factors that help and hinder children of prisoners in the short and long term
