Dr Caroline Rouncefield, PhD

Biography

My main interest lies in Community Psychology and the application of psychology to understanding and working with individual, social and community problems. I have been involved in a range of research projects, including identifying the needs of women experiencing domestic violence in rural and isolated areas, youth nuisance in inner city Manchester and youth homelessness in a northern seaside town. I deliver a range of modules across a number of programmes.
