Amy Long is currently a Fesearch Fellow on the Horizon Clarus Project. She was previously a Research Assistant in the School of Humanities and since 2014, a Human Geography doctoral student (p/t), both at the University of Dundee. Her work primarily focusses on policing practice, police culture and social justice.

She has an MSc Investigative Psychology from University of Liverpool and prior to joining Dundee, collaborated there on work exploring decision making in uncertainty. For many years Amy worked in social care before returning to academia. Her work draws on this experience through attention to the plurality of policing practice, especially at the intersections of vulnerability, visibility, and human rights.

Amy's doctoral work explores police missing persons work, using an ethnomethodological approach to understanding how police perceive their own success. During her PhD Amy also worked 3 years as a researcher on a trans-national comparative project looking at accountability and legitimacy of online surveillance by the state, she conducted research on behalf of HMICS as part of their inspection of police, and more recently jointly co-ordinated a multi-stakeholder dissemination project 'Policing digital Futures'.
