Before coming to Huddersfield, Daniel was a Research Associate in the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland, and Research Methodology and Statistical Consultant for number of institutions e.g., Department of Access and Educational Partnerships at University of Ulster, Children's Research Centre at University of Dublin, All Hallows College (Dublin City University), Statistical Services for Social Sciences. Daniel has an extensive experience of working in forensic settings including high security prisons for recidivists and street working in the environment of youth at risk of addiction and social pathology. He is the Editor-in-Chief and the founder of the Journal of Criminal Psychology (ISSN 2009-3829) published by Emerald Publishing Group Ltd.
Daniel’s PhD (University of Ulster) focused on recidivistic behaviour, examining the criminal social identity and criminal thinking styles in a large prison sample. His current research interests and publications continue to include the aspects of criminal identity and criminal thinking styles with particular interest on homicidal behaviour. Daniel’s approach to research is primarily quantitative and he has a particular interest in Structural Equation Modelling, Latent Growth Analysis, Latent Class Analysis, Propensity Score Analysis, Mediation & Moderation Analysis.

Daniel has established a formal relationship with the Polish Prison Service where he conducts most of his research. His research is mostly focused on the area of recidivistic and homicidal behaviour, criminal social identity, and criminal thinking styles of offenders in several high security prisons; and the application of advanced statistical analysis (statistical modelling). He worked in Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland (RCSI) on four research projects (funded by Irish Research Council for the Humanities and Social Sciences) that provide information on Irish Contraception and Crisis Pregnancy Surveys (ICCP-2003/2010) and the 2006 Irish Study of Sexual Health and Relationships (ISSHR).
Additionally he worked on a research projects conducted in agreement with An Garda Siochana (Irish Police Service) that was carried out to develop an understanding of mental health related behaviours among Irish police officers. First project was focused on understanding what factors can predict why Irish Police Officers would seek out psychological counselling. The second research project was focused on understanding the psychological factors crucial in mediating the relationship between experience of traumatic events and the development of posttraumatic stress symptomology.
