Dr Fussey is a Reader in Criminology and Sociology specialising in the areas of crime, security, counter-terrorism, surveillance and the city. His work has particularly focused on the regeneration and securitisation of the city in relation to sporting mega-events, such as the London 2012 Olympic Games. He is also researching urban resilience and, separately, human trafficking. Dr Fussey joined the Sociology department in September 2010 after eight years at the University of East London as Senior Lecturer and Leader of the Criminology and Criminal Justice programme. During this time he taught on a range of criminological themes - including criminological theory, transnational organised crime, urbanisation and crime and psychological criminology – and on critical terrorism and counter-terrorism related issues. Dr Fussey also co-developed England’s first MSc in Terrorism Studies whilst at UEL. Prior to that he completed a PhD analysing the dissemination of surveillance strategies in the UK.

Security and major sporting events: ongoing work yielding an edited collection (‘Terrorism and the Olympics’) and joint monograph (‘Securing and Sustaining the Olympic City’) (see below). This analyses the form and impact of Olympic (and other mega-event) security operations with particular reference to London 2012.

Resilient Futures: part of £1.7m ESRC & EPSRC research project (see below). The future resilience and UK energy and transport infrastructures and the social impacts of infrastructure failure and climate change.

Terrorism and public spaces: part of £1.2m EPSRC research project (see below). This research stream covers a number of areas ranging from the commission of terrorist acts to the form and impact of counter-terrorism measures.

Surveillance and society: Dr Fussey has spent a number of years examining theoretical and practical issues relating to the dissemination, application and impact of camera surveillance across Britain to counter crime and terrorism. He has presented papers at national and international conferences, appeared on television, published work and written a doctoral thesis on the subject.

Crossing Borders: Migration, the informal and organised criminal economies in East London. Over the last 2 years he has been conducting qualitative research investigating how migrants from East Europe and the Former Soviet Union operate within the second economy and criminal networks in East London. He is also developing a related project researching the dynamics of, and responses to, child trafficking into London.
