Ms Michelle Rogersonm.rogerson@hud.ac.uk | 01484 473223
Michelle joined the Applied Criminology Group in 1998 from the Data Archive, University of Essex. She completed a BA in Sociology at Durham University and an MSc in Social Research Methods at the University of Surrey.
Michelle’s research interests include the interactions between crime, fear of crime and quality of life and the relationships between neighbourhood regeneration and crime prevention. Her PhD research is exploring how offenders’ modus operandi adapt at different times, locations and social contexts and the analytical techniques available to identify and monitor changes in crime over time. Michelle has expertise in the statistical analysis of both police recorded crime data and large scale surveys such as the British Crime Survey. Michelle has published on subjects including situational crime prevention, fear of crime and quality of life and the analysis of crime and repeat victimisation.
Michelle is currently undertaking a part time PhD entitled:

Social marketing adopts principles and methods derived from commercial marketing and directs them towards ‘selling’ a change in attitude or behaviour rather than selling a product. Social marketing is increasingly adopted in the field of crime prevention. It has been utilised both with the aim of changing behaviour that increases the risk of becoming a victim and to discourage offenders or prospective offenders from engaging in criminal behaviours. This study will explore the effectiveness of social marketing in changing criminogenic behaviour and identify the mechanisms and contexts required for successful campaigns.
Indicative Methodology focus groups, face to face interviews, questionnaire survey techniques.
Offender Management aims to focus the attention of different agencies on the offending patterns and lifestyle of individual criminals, using a combination of intensive multi-agency support and police disruption tactics. This PhD will adopt a life history approach combining analysis of case files and police intelligence reports to monitor changes in offending behaviour and map these changes against variations in the support received and levels of police enforcement. The study will explore the interaction between the potentially conflicting strands of support and enforcement.
Indicative methodology: Interviews with offenders, case file analysis.
This PhD will model the relationships and interactions between variables such as crime, perceptions of crime, housing, health and local facilities to examine their relative impact on quality of life.
Indicative methodology: Secondary analysis of survey data.
This PhD will explore the impact of the introduction of knife arches in public settings, exploring the rationale for their deployment, the perceptions of police and the public and the influence which knife arches have on the social settings in which they are used.
Indicative methodology: Observations, Interviews
