Ian Marder is Assistant Professor in Criminology at Maynooth University School of Law and Criminology and Deputy Director of the Maynooth Centre for Criminology Research. His work focuses on criminal justice reform, and includes policymaking and practice development, in addition to research. His work in restorative justice and restorative practices involves engaging with all stages of the criminal justice process. In the policing context, he has conducted research on the police’s facilitation of restorative justice processes, the use of restorative practices to build police-community relations, and public attitudes towards restorative policing.

Yvonne Daly is Professor of Criminal Law and Evidence in the School of Law and Government at Dublin City University. She is an expert on criminal evidence and procedure, with a specific research focus on effective criminal defence and the legal regulation of criminal investigations. She is committed to research with real-world impact and her work on access to legal assistance in police custody, on the right to silence, and on the consequences of improperly obtained evidence has been foundational in the creation of training for police station lawyers. She has published widely on criminal evidence and procedure, and in 2023 she published Criminal Defence Representation at Garda Stations (Bloomsbury Professional), a first-of-its-kind study which she undertook with her late colleague Dr Vicky Conway.
