Script Analysis for Security Professionals (2022) | This chapter in the third edition of the Palgrave Handbook of Security positions script analysis as a useful tool to help security practitioners design and upgrade preventive and protective controls in an organisational context. It provides a brief introduction to the script concept and its key attributes and presents the approach as a pragmatic means to analyse the process that offenders go through in the commission of a crime, to pinpoint opportunities for preventive intervention, and to identify a fuller range of risk mitigating measures to choose from. In addition to providing some documented examples of how the approach has been applied in practice, it highlights some recent advances in script analysis and some suggested areas for improvement. 
Breaking Silos of Legal and Regulatory Risks (2020) | The ever evolving legal and regulatory landscape and resulting pressure on organizations to adapt and comply is just one of many factors that have turned compliance management into a crucial yet increasingly complicated activity. In recent years, numerous compliance challenges have been reported on and traditional approaches for managing legal and regulatory risks are increasingly being scrutinized. Published in the European Journal on Criminal Policy and Research, this paper provides an overview of the main challenges faced by commercial organizations and goes on to focus on what is referred to as a holistic, integrated approach to managing compliance. It explores the key characteristics and suggested benefits of the approach, as well as some factual and more substantive arguments in support of its claims and underlying logic. Borrowing from criminological theory, it further argues that despite the potential benefits of a holistic view of compliance, there equally remains room for caution.
