My research examines corporate investigation and intelligence firms with a view to understanding the role that such companies have played over time both within a business context but also within wider society. In doing so my work touches on surveillance capitalism, the private policing of corporate wrong doing in both a criminal and non-criminal sense and the commodification of both information and regulatory compliance. It examines how corporate investigation and intelligence firms illuminate uncertainty for their clients so that they may asses and mitigate risk as part of their wider decision-making processes.
