Charlie Brooker: University of London, United Kingdom
Charlie Brooker has been a researcher and academic for over thirty years. His main interest was in psychosocial approaches for caring for people with serious mental health problems until 1995, when he was a professor of mental health in Sheffield and Manchester. Since then, he has almost exclusively researched aspects of the Criminal Justice system and mental health. This work has taken him into police stations, prisons, courts, sexual assault referral centers, and probation services in the last 10-15 years. In 2010 he retired formally from university life but was awarded an honorary chair at Royal Holloway, University of London.
