Dr Beth Hardie Research: Dr Hardie's research is grounded in a highly analytical approach that integrates individually and environmentally focused explanations of human behaviour. She has a strong academic background in the social sciences with a focus on developmental and social psychology, criminology, and research methods. From 2004-2020 she worked at the Institute of Criminology with Professor P-O Wikström, firstly as a Research Associate and then as Research Manager of the Peterborough Adolescent and Young Adult Development Study (PADS+). She conducted the stand-alone 2005 Peterborough Community Survey as part of PADS+ and went on to conduct many fieldwork interviews with the PADS+ participants. From 2006-2020, as the Research Manager of PADS+, she was responsible for fieldwork staff and the collection, quality and management of PADS+ data, as well contributing to the development and application of the research instruments used and devised by PADS+. Her 16 years of varied work on this multi-method, multi-level longitudinal study means she is experienced in developmental and social ecological research methods and analytical techniques, as well as the operational demands of running a world-class large-scale longitudinal research study. She was also responsible for the analysis and presentation of PADS+ spatial data using GIS, the training of international collaborative and replica study staff, and was jointly responsible for the co-ordination of the I-SAT (international comparison of tests of Situational Action Theory) project. She has also made various other empirical, theoretical and methodological contributions to the academic literature on crime, parenting, and adolescent behaviour. For a summary of publications see www.bethhardie.me. Dr Hardie is currently working on collaborations with academic researchers and practitioners from a range of fields to apply her perspective and knowledge to topics including education, probation, autism, activity and obesity, road safety and eating disorders.
