Dr Sandra Taylor has over 20 years of experience teaching Forensic, Criminological and Investigative Psychology at both graduate and undergraduate level at the University of South Wales (University of Glamorgan as was) (1992-6), University of West London (1999-2004) and Bath Spa University (2004-12). She also taught Forensic Psychology on the MSc Applied Psychology Degree at the University of South Wales/Glamorgan (1996-7) and the Forensic Psychology components on the MA (Econ) Criminology Degree at Cardiff University (1991-2).
In a consultancy role for the Addictions Unit on behalf of the South Glamorgan Probation Service in 1992, she designed an inventory called ‘Attitudes Towards Alcohol Questionnaire’ (AtaQuest). This was a questionnaire designed to assess readiness to change that the Probation Service used to assess offenders of drink driving charges on probation with an order to attend the Alcohol Education Group.
Dr Sandie Taylor has published articles in a number of different journals. She has published two books in the area of forensic psychology and criminology and is currently writing an academic textbook in collaboration with Professor Lance Workman on The Psychology of Social Development – due out late in 2017. As a second string to her bow, Sandie has also been involved in designing and delivering modules on developmental psychology for the last 17 years.
