Anne-Marie McAlinden graduated in law from Queen's University in 1996. In 1997 she was awarded the degree of MSSc from the Institute of Criminology and Criminal Justice at Queen's with Distinction. Anne-Marie was appointed to the post of Lecturer in Law at the University of Ulster, Jordanstown, in September 2001 and later to the post of Lecturer in Criminology in January 2003. In the interim period she completed her PhD, a study on the management of sexual offenders in the community in Northern Ireland, in September 2002. She joined the School of Law at Queen's in September 2003 and was promoted to Reader in July 2012.
Her main research interests lie in the areas of the management of violent and sexual offenders, restorative justice and criminal justice issues generally where she has published widely. She has acted as a consultant to government on a number of projects including ‘Public Attitudes to Sex Offenders in Northern Ireland’ (2007, Belfast: NISOSMC, with Research and Regional Services, Chapters 1, 2, 7 & 8) and ‘Employment Opportunities and Community Reintegration of Sex Offenders in Northern Ireland’ (NIO Statistical and Research Series Report No. 20, Belfast: Northern Ireland Office, 86 pp). Her book 'The Shaming of Sexual Offenders: Risk, Retribution and Reintegration' (Oxford, Hart Publishing, 2007) was awarded the British Society of Criminology Book Prize 2008 for the best first sole-authored book published in the discipline in the previous year. Her second sole-authored monograph, ‘“Grooming” and the Sexual Abuse of Children: Institutional, Internet, and Familial Dimensions’ is to be published in December 2012 by Oxford University Press as part of the Clarendon Series in Criminology. The primary research for this book was funded by a small research grant awarded by the British Academy.
