<p class="Default"><span style="color: windowtext;">Marisa Silvestri is an Associate Professor in Criminology at Kingston University. Her main research interests lie at the intersections of policing, gender and criminal justice.

She is also an editorial board member for Policing & Society and is </span><span style="color: windowtext;">currently working on exploring the gendered impacts of the current police reform agenda on the selection of its chief officers, together with an analysis of the gendered nature of language within policing. </span></p>
