Research

My PhD thesis focuses on, after the Covid-19 pandemic, the impact of victim experience in anti-Chinese hate crimes on British society. Qualitative research is my main research methodology, and fieldwork and semi-structured interviews are adopted in my research. Furthermore, my interests include victims and policing.
