Ali’s research interests include youth justice, the professional relationship, community supervision, and desistance from offending. In October 2021, Ali began a three-year early career fellowship entitled ‘A space for love? The ethics of care in youth justice’, which is funded by the Leverhulme Trust and Isaac Newton Trust. The project will examine the contours of care and its ethical dimensions in the youth justice (child – worker) professional relationship, through an ethnographic and participatory approach.
