Ebony Reid

Ebony Reid is a Criminologist and Ethnographer specialising in research on street crime/violence in inner city London. She has an active interest in developing new psychosocial understandings of urban criminality. Her recent article, published in the British Journal of Criminology, explores how traumatic childhood events alongside socioeconomic and cultural dynamics shape the psychology of urban drug dealers as they respond to existential suffering. The aim of her first book, Trapped Life, is to turn the insights from her academic research into a character driven story which can be consumed by a wide and global audience.
