Professor David Canter

I am Professor of Psychology and Director of the International Research Centre for Investigative Psychology and joined Huddersfield University in 2009. I was formerly Professor of Psychology at Liverpool University from 1994, where I directed the Centre for Investigative Psychology and established the MSc in Investigative Psychology. Before that I held the positions of Lecturer, Reader and then Professor and Head of Department at The University of Surrey, starting in 1971, developing the world's first MSc programme in Environmental Psychology and subsequently Investigative Psychology. From 1969 to 1971, I was Research Fellow at Tokyo University on a Leverhulme Fellowship. My first lecturing position was taken up at Strathclyde University in the School of Architecture growing out of membership of The Building Performance Research Unit, starting 1968.

• Awarded research grants form ESRC and EPSRC, US Army basic research fund, as well as The Leverhulme Trust and the Rowntree Trust.
• Also research contracts from The Home Office, The Department of Health and the DSIR.
• Carried out major research consultancy work for BP Oil, BP Chemicals, Scottish HydroElectric, British Steel, British Leyland, The Salvation Army, British Army and a number of small companies.

This work has resulted in over 30 books and 400 papers in academic and professional journals. Since 1985, David has contributed to over 150 police investigations as a psychologist and 40 court cases as an expert witness. He has also been invited as an expert advisor to the Popplewell Enquiry, the Taylor Enquiry and the Kings Cross Fire enquiry.
