Biography
Gabriel Wong is a Lecturer in Criminology in CSRM. His research interests include crime and drug involvement, policy decision-making, knowledge synthesis, economic analysis of crime prevention and efficiency in policing. Gabriel is a quantitative researcher with experience in evaluation, cost-benefit analysis and multi-criteria decision modelling. His research has implications to: (i) the development of targeted institutional and criminal justice policies aimed at mitigating the adverse harms and consequences associated with crime and illicit drug involvement; (ii) the deployment of finite resources that improve the efficiency of policing activities (e.g. arrest, detection); and (iii) the costs and benefits of prevention interventions.
