Angela Elvery

Angela Elvery is a criminologist with interests in firearms policy, the use of AI and automated decision-making systems with criminal justice systems, trauma-informed approaches to policy and organisational interactions, and understanding the role of cross-sectoral collaboration for decarbonisation efforts. Her PhD research examined the current public knowledge around Queensland firearms legislation, the impact that public views have on firearms owners, and the ways in which contact with firearms owners can enable better understanding of legal firearms ownership and legislation. While completing her PhD, Angela tutored and supported numerous courses across the criminology, sociology, and social science programs at UQ, as well as undertaking multiple research assistant roles in the fields of archaeology, criminology, and sociology. She is a competent qualitative and quantitative researcher, having employed various forms of these approaches across her Honours, PhD, and research projects.
