Dr Daniel Briggs uses ethnographic methods with a wide range of social groups – from the most vulnerable to the most dangerous to the most misunderstood. He has researched numerous different social issues and his work takes him inside prisons, crack houses, mental health institutions, asylum seeker institutions, hostels, nightclubs, gypsy camps, care homes and hospices, and homeless services. His research interests include social exclusion, culture and deviance, and late modern identities. See his two-part documentary ‘The English riots 2011: One year on’.

Daniel’s interests concern processes of social exclusion which the result of structural violence, various forms of stigma and/or social oppression. His work initially examined crime, criminal justice, drug users and prisons but, more broadly, his work has also come to examine social suffering and marginalisation and how these experiences merge with the potential for deviancy and crime. More recently, he has also moved into the arenas of anti-social behaviour, education, health and youth culture. His PhD, which examined the social and structural barriers for crack users in accessing crack services, was based on nine months of ethnographic fieldwork with crack cocaine users. Unsurprisingly, ethnography is his preferred methodology although he has been involved in quantitative research such as prevalence studies and crime surveys. His most recent work was on the English riots of 2011 and the risk behaviours of British holidaymakers in Ibiza. He is currently writing three books and a series of papers, and has moved into making short documentaries about his research findings.
