Eliza Brownsord

Student, University of Leeds

I am Laidlaw scholar and undergraduate student at the University of Leeds studying towards a LLB. My research aims to greater understand the public's perceptions towards rehabilitation and reintegration of terrorists into society through literature reviews and studying data from public surveys. The wider implications of this research will hopefully mean that public policy is influenced in ways to be more receptive to the public's needs and that society will become more educated in this area.  Outside of my studies I really enjoy reading, travelling, cooking, listening to music and spending quality time with my friends and family.
