Dr Tina G. Patel completed her first degree (awarded 1999) in Criminal Justice at Liverpool John Moores University. Having been awarded funding from a fully competitive scheme, Tina spent 3½ years at the University of Sheffield studying for the qualification of PhD, in a study looking at race, identity and adoption policy (awarded 2004). She has also been involved in a research project funded by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation, at Nottingham Trent University, looking at  school exclusion and successful youth transitions within African-Caribbean communities (completed 2004). In September 2004, Tina returned to Liverpool John Moores University to take up a post as a lecturer in Criminology and Sociology.

Tina joined the University of Salford in September 2008, as lecturer in Criminology. Her research and teaching interests relate to ‘race’, exclusion, police and violent behaviour. Here she carried out research into the policing of racist violence in Northern Ireland; vehicle crime in deprived neighbourhoods; and, the foster care and identity development of refugee status children. Tina is currently undertaking research into ethnic profiling in the North-west of England within the 'war on terror' context; the rationalisation process used by victims of racist attacks; and, theft in the urban environment.
