Research

Dr Richardson’s doctoral work, and most of his research and writing to date have focused overwhelmingly on international educational scenarios and themes and/or topics that are “special educational” in nature, especially those that relate to the life experiences of juvenile delinquents (young offenders) and the incredible resiliency of at-risk and/or marginalized adolescents.
