Biography

Henry completed degrees in Law and Mathematics in Australia before coming to the UK for graduate study. He has previously taught subjects related to Criminal Law, Evidence, Jurisprudence, and Legal History at institutions including Canberra, Oxford, and Cambridge. Currently, Henry is the Deputy Director of Admissions at the Law School and accepts PhD supervisions. His research is grounded in extensive archival work that examines the intersection of Criminal Law, Criminal Procedure, and Legal History. He takes a modern scholarly approach, emphasizing the development of substantive Criminal Law, which is fundamentally linked to the procedures and institutions used to enforce and refine it throughout its history. By exploring the historical dimension of Criminal Law, he seeks to illuminate how it has developed in the context of political, judicial, and prosecutorial influences, while also addressing the principle of legality. Through this research, Henry aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the past to secure a foundation for theorizing about Criminal Law in the present. He currently teaches Criminal Law at King's College London.
