Dr Lorraine Bowman Grieve

I have experience in lecturing a range of modules relating to Social and Forensic Psychology, and I have lectured in Terrorism Studies, all at both undergraduate and Masters level. I have also lectured in the Psychology of Mental Health (in particular in relation to offending behaviour).

Research Interests • Investigating online support for terrorist and extremist movements • Understanding the impact of the internet and social media • ‘Deviant’ narratives • Mental health narratives • Radicalisation in prisons: Understanding ‘Risk’ • The impact of terrorism on victims and communities • The role of women in right wing extremist movements • Counter-terrorism initiatives: best practice and informing policy

I have been working as a full time lecturer at various Hihger Level institutions since completing my PhD in 2006.
