Education and research interests
In 2016, Frederick completed an Erasmus Mundus Joint Doctorate in Global and Cultural Criminology program at the School of Social Policy, Sociology & Social Research at the University of Kent (Canterbury, England) and the Institute für Kriminologische Sozialforschung at University of Hamburg (Hamburg, Germany).
Their research focuses on how the ongoing commercialization,[1] commodification and gentrification[2] of queer physical space (i.e., ‘gay ghettos’) and queer virtual space affects sexual experiences among gay, bisexual and queer men (GBQM). Their research also looks at the impact of criminal justice and public health interventions, as well as the stigmatisation, marginalisation and oppression of GBQM by contemporary gay culture.[3]
Several areas in which Frederick is actively researching include:
- Intimate partner violence and intimate partner homicide in same-sex relationships, including where transgender individuals are victims
- Serial murder involving gay, bisexual and queer male victims and perpetrators
- Queer male drug use
- Critical criminological pedagogy[4]
