Colin King
Colin’s research primarily focuses on proceeds of crime and anti-money laundering law and practice. He also has research interests in financial crime more generally, particularly corporate crime and the use of deferred prosecution agreements. He has published widely in these areas, including Negotiated Justice and Corporate Crime: The Legitimacy of Civil Recovery and Deferred Prosecution Agreements (King and Lord, Palgrave, 2018) and The Handbook of Criminal and Terrorism Financing Law (King, Walker, and Gurulé, eds, Palgrave, 2018).
Colin also conducts research in criminal evidence and criminal justice, particularly in relation to legal responses to organised crime and terrorism.
He has received a number of funding awards to support his research, including from the AHRC Leadership Fellowship scheme; the British Academy Tackling the UK’s International Challenges scheme; the Modern Law Review Seminar Series; the AHRC Network scheme; the Society of Legal Scholars (SLS) Small Grants and Events Fund; the Worldwide Universities Network Research Mobility Programme; and the Irish Research Council.
Colin is currently supervising seven PhD students. He is particularly interested in supervising theses on financial crime (eg anti-money laundering; counter terrorist financing; corporate crime) and criminal evidence/justice.
