Dr Anamika Twyman-Ghoshal is a senior lecturer in criminology at Brunel University of London and has a PhD in Criminology and Justice Policy from Northeastern University in Boston, MA (USA). Her work focuses on the intersection of power, systemic injustice and social harm; restorative justice and practice; and decolonising knowledge production. Her restorative justice research has included evaluating police run restorative services, collating evidence and measuring the effectiveness of restorative practices, using restorative and decolonised research methods, and broadening representation in the restorative sector. Beyond her academic interest in restorative justice, she was a restorative justice practitioner in the United States and is the co-founder of the community-interest-company, Restorativ, which looks to make restorative justice more accessible through the use of technology. She is a member of the Advisory Board for the All-Party Parliamentary Group for Restorative Justice and a board appointed trustee of the Restorative Justice Council.
