関心分野
My background is in law, with an interdisciplinary focus on regulation, particularly in the field of criminal justice. My approach is through a comparative, empirical sociolegal lens.
I have recently completed a study on the nature and impact of civil prison oversight in Japan and Australia. My current projects include participation in a Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) research grant led by Prof. Jōji (George) Shishido (https://kaken.nii.ac.jp/grant/KAKENHI-PROJECT-22H00041/) on the impact of digitisation and algorithmic decision-making on law and politics. My contribution examines the impact of the digital age on community corrections (probation and parole) in Japan and Australia.
Two key insights from my research are Japan’s critical role as a testing site for western legal ideas that have been regarded as universally applicable, and the importance of developing a granular understanding of the compliance postures of regulated individuals and institutions before attempting a regulatory intervention.
