Andromachi Tseloni is Professor of Quantitative Criminology at Nottingham Trent University. She has a BA(hons.) and an MA from Athens University of Economics and Business and a Ph D in Econometrics and Social Statistics from the University of Manchester and has held posts in a number of universities in Greece, the United Kingdom and the United States. Her research focuses upon the individual and environmental factors that shape victimisation risk and repetition. This research has explored in particular victimisation inequalities, and the role that security has played in the crime drop across a number of offence types.
Rebecca Thompson is a Senior Lecturer in Criminology at Nottingham Trent University. Her research focuses upon household burglary, anti-social behaviour and police-academic collaboration.

Prior to this, she worked for a police force in the UK (with a specific remit around crime reduction and community safety) before being awarded a Vice-Chancellor’s Scholarship to undertake doctoral study. Since her Ph D, she has held research and teaching positions at a number of academic institutions.
