OVERVIEW
Ruby has a background and keen interest in criminology, and started her career in research at UEL back in 2012, working across the evaluation and community engagement teams on the ground as part of Well London, a pan-London community development for health programme. Ruby has recently submitted her PhD thesis exploring adverse childhood experiences, civic engagement and well-being across the life course.
Ruby currently supports the CC-Driver EU-funded project within her role as a Research Assistant at ICC, within which qualitative and qualitative research methodologies are employed to explore and better understand the human drivers of cybercrime. The ultimate aim of CC-driver is to deter young people from engaging in cybercrime and cyber delinquency.
