Andrew Roberts joined Melbourne Law School in 2011. He was previously an Associate Professor in the School of Law  at the University of Warwick, and has also worked at the University of Leeds. His research interests lie generally in criminal procedure and evidence, and particularly identification and expert evidence, on which he has published widely. He is a co-author of Identification: Investigation, Trial and Scientific Evidence, the second edition of which was published in 2011. He has an interest in the implications of the findings of psychological research for the process of proof, and was recently involved in an interdisciplinary empirical research project which explored the use and accuracy of street identifications (confrontations between witness and suspect conducted shortly after the commission of an offence) in criminal investigations. He is currently undertaking doctoral research at Leiden University on privacy issues in the criminal process.

 

Andrew is Case Note Editor and a member of the Editorial Board of the International Journal of Evidence and Proof. In 2009 he was a Visiting Senior Fellow in the School of Law at the University of New South Wales, where he taught Evidence. He has also lectured on postgraduate forensic psychology courses at the Universities of York, Leicester and Liverpool, and for a number of years has taught part of a short course on Crime, Law and Psychology organised by the Centre for Public Policy, Prague.
