Profile
Nicky Padfield (she publishes as Nicola Padfield) is a criminal lawyer who is interested in all parts of the criminal justice system: the decision-making which goes on in police stations, courts and prisons, for example. She has written a number of books, and many articles, and is a part-time judge (Recorder). She likes to explore areas of the system which are under-researched, or throw the spotlight on new areas: for example at the moment she is involved in projects which seek better to understand why so many prisoners are being recalled to prison during the second part of their prison sentence (the part served on licence in the community).
