Suzette Scharschmidt

I am a Postgraduate Academic Assistant in Law. My role involves teaching undergraduate courses in Law, while also conducting research on the current age of criminal responsibility in England and Wales for my PhD.

I was a visiting lecturer for the University of Bedfordshire before moving into law enforcement, working with the NCA/Judicial Prosecutor for the police. I went into academia fully post-Covid, teaching A Level law.

I have several academic interests such as crime and criminal justice. I am also interested in human rights and international law and how the tension between these competing issues is dealt with by both the State and the wider international community.
