Andrew Faull

DPhil student

Before his leap of faith back into academia, Andrew Faull was employed as a Senior Researcher in the Crime & Justice Programme at the Institute for Security Studies (ISS), a policy research institute with offices across Africa. At the ISS he was lead researcher on a three-year project exploring police corruption and integrity management in the South African Police Service (SAPS). During that time he published numerous articles, papers and co-authored a monograph on the subject, and helped drive related policy reform. He was a regular public commentator on police related matters and presented papers and inputs at various workshops, seminars and conferences together with other members of civil society, government and academia.

At Oxford, under the supervision of Prof. Ian Loader and Dr. Jonny Steinberg, Andrew?s doctoral research explores issues of police professionalism in South Africa. His interests include the lived experience of police officials and how these inform police culture and the ?doing? of police work.

Andrew holds BA, BsocSc(Hons) and Mphil degrees from the University of Cape Town and has spent time as a visiting student at New York University. He holds certificates from Shanghai Jiao Tong University, The New School for Social Research and, after a period of self-discovery - the Foundation School of Art. In addition to his ISS publications, Andrew has authored a monograph on diversity training in the SAPS, and a book sketching the working lives of twenty-eight SAPS officials.

When not pondering crime and police, Andrew enjoys travel, exercise induced highs, long walks on the beach, rationalism, pragmatism and sunshine.
