About Caitlin

Dr Caitlin Clemmow manages the Jill Dando Institute Research Lab within University College London’s Department of Security and Crime Science. Her research focusses on risk assessment and management of grievance-fuelled violence offenders such as terrorists, mass murderers, and the pathologically fixated. She currently leads research projects on the topic funded by the Home Office’s Department of Homeland Security, the Youth Endowment Fund, and the Ministry of Defence. She has worked on research funded by the Centre for Research and Evidence on Security Threats (CREST), Centre for the Protection of National Infrastructure (CPNI), and the European Union, among others, and works with practitioner teams across the UK’s Prevent delivery (Vulnerability Support Hubs), the UK’s Fixated Threat Assessment Centre, and Counterterrorism Police.
