Mark first joined the Law School in 2000. He returns to the Criminal Justice program at Flinders after three years teaching and researching at the University of Melbourne. Mark has taught courses on crime causation, research methodology, violence and criminological theory. Funded by Flinders University and the Australian Research Council, he is the sole investigator on a five year study examining the repeat incarceration of young males in the South Australian juvenile and adult custodial systems. Mark also jointly leads the team contracted by the Victorian Government to evaluate Australia's first Neighbourhood Justice Centre based in Collingwood. His specific areas of interest include youth offending, repeat incarceration, desistance from crime, and the links between cultural and criminological theory. His work has appeared in such journals as Punishment and Society, Theoretical Criminology and The British Journal of Criminology. His first book, Deleuze and Environmental Damage, examines the social, cultural and legal constructions of forest use and abuse in south eastern Australia and is published by Ashgate.
