Mark has a degree in law and postgraduate qualifications in sociology, criminology and education. He has published in the areas of criminology (crime and the media, state violence, community corrections, victims), racism (racial discrimination in recruitment, indigenous under-representation on juries, antisemitism), research ethics, and education (teaching criminology and law).
He is author of South African Political Exile in the United Kingdom published by Palgrave Macmillan (1999) and Ethics and the Governance of Criminological Research in Australia (NSW Government, 2004), co-author (with Iain Hay) of Research Ethics for Social Scientists: Between Ethical Conduct and Regulatory Compliance (Sage, 2006) and co-editor of International Victimology (Australian Institute of Criminology, 1996), Criminal Justice in Diverse Communities (Federation, 2000), Crime and Justice in Australia (Lawbook Company, 2003), and Crime and Justice: a Guide to Criminology (Lawbook Company, 2006) .
Between 1988 and 1992, he lectured in the United Kingdom. He came to Flinders University in 1993 where he teaches criminology. In 1999 and 2000, he was the winner of the Australian and New Zealand Society of Criminology's Young Scholar Award. In 2005, he received the Radzinowicz Memorial Prize from the British Journal of Criminology and, in 2006, the Critical Criminologist of the Year Award from the Critical Criminology Division of the American Society of Criminology.
He is a Senior Fellow of the UK Higher Education Academy, an Associate of the United Kingdom Centre for Legal Education at the University of Warwick, and an Academic Advisor to the City University of Hong Kong. He has acted as a consultant to various institutions and agencies, including the New South Wales and South Australian Governments and the National Health and Medical Research Council, and on educational matters to a range of universities and private Higher Education Providers in Australia. His recent editorial roles have included being Associate Editor of the Australian and New Zealand Journal of Criminology, and Criminal Justice Ethics and Pacific Rim Editor for Critical Criminology: an International Journal. He is also on the Editorial Boards of the Journal of Criminal Justice Education, Enhancing Learning in the Social Sciences, Journal of Academic Ethics, Research Ethics Review and the Journal of Empirical Research on Human-Research Ethics.
Mark's current research interests include: research ethics in criminology, socio-legal studies and, more generally, in social science; learning and teaching in criminology and law; social exclusion in the context of race and jury selection, and state and state-corporate crime. He would be very happy to hear from potential postgraduate research students (LLM, MA, PhD) who are looking for supervision.
In 2004, Mark won the Prime Minister's Award for Australian University Teacher of the Year. He also received the national award for teaching in the Law, Economics, Business and Related Studies category. He has been awarded an Associate Fellowship by the Australian Learning and Teaching Council (formerly the Carrick Institute). Mark will take up the Fellowship in 2009 and will be looking at the development of university leadership in learning and teaching.
