Dr Brown holds two Masters degrees in law, a third Masters degree in criminal justice, and a PhD in law. He is a graduate of the Universities of Aberdeen (LLB (Hons), Dip LP); Northumbria (LLM); Glasgow and Strathclyde (MSc); Durham (MJur); and Edinburgh (PhD). He is an enrolled solicitor (admitted 2001; currently non-practising). Both his MJur and PhD theses were passed without corrections. His PhD was supported by a studentship from the Scottish Centre for Crime and Justice Research.
Dr Brown has lectured on sentencing at judicial training events and at seminars for the legal profession in Scotland and the Republic of Ireland. He regularly writes on sentencing issues in practitioners' journals such as the Scots Law Times and Greens Criminal Law Bulletin.

Current Research
Dr Brown is currently undertaking two large-scale research projects on sentencing law and practice: a practitioner monograph on sentencing as part of the Scottish Universities Law Institute series; and a third research monograph for Hart Publishing on sentencing offences involving prohibited firearms.
Sentencing Law and Practice (SULI)
Dr Brown has been commissioned by the Scottish Universities Law Institute (SULI) to write a two-volume work on sentencing, entitled Sentencing Law and Practice. Volume 1 (Principles of Sentencing) deals with the broad themes and principles of sentencing theory and judicial decision-making in sentencing. Volume 2 (Sentencing Practice) examines sentencing practice for specific offences.
Volume 1 provides an in-depth discussion of the sentencing process, and the nature of judicial discretion in sentencing. It provides an authoritative account of the rules governing particular disposals, including custodial sentences, non-custodial sentences, and incidental disposals. Volume 1 also provides an in-depth discussion of sentencing principles by reference to relevant appellate decisions. Issues covered include aggravating and mitigating factors in sentencing; the sentencing of young offenders; and the operation of the guilty plea discount.
Volume 2 of the work considers sentencing practice for particular offences, including sexual offences; drug offences; road traffic offences; firearms offences; assault; and offences of dishonesty. Volume 2 considers guideline judgments issued by the High Court of Justiciary on appeal and the Sheriff Appeal Court; appellate sentencing guidance and statements of principle issued by the appellate courts; and formal sentencing guidelines.
The Scottish Universities Law Institute series comprises a definitive collection of texts on modern Scots law (https://www.sweetandmaxwell.co.uk/wgreen/suli.htm). With in-depth coverage of both general principles and sentencing for specific offences, the work will be a comprehensive and authoritative source for practitioners and for the courts.
Sentencing and Prohibited Firearms: Comparative Law, Policy and Practice (Hart Publishing/Bloomsbury)
Dr Brown is also working on a third research monograph for Hart Publishing/Bloomsbury. Entitled Sentencing and Prohibited Firearms: Comparative Law, Policy and Practice, the book is under contract with Hart. This monograph examines sentencing law and practice for offences involving the possession and use of prohibited firearms in four jurisdictions: England & Wales, Scotland, the Republic of Ireland, and Canada. Focusing on statutory minimum sentence regimes, sentencing guidelines, and case law in each jurisdiction, the book situates the law within its broader social and theoretical contexts.
The book explores the nature and effect of firearms, including rifles, handguns, shotguns, and electric shock weapons, as well as prohibited ammunition, through a review of the literature on wound ballistics. The book explores sentencing law and practice in each jurisdiction, including minimum sentence provisions; the issuing of guideline judgments; the development of formal sentencing guidelines; and, in the cases of Ireland and Canada, the Supreme Court decisions in Ellis v Minister for Justice and Equality (2019) and R v Nur (2015) which struck down certain minimum sentence provisions as unconstitutional. An analysis of the development of sentencing guidance in the UK is provided, from the decision of the Court of Appeal (Criminal Division) in R v Avis (1988); through the adoption of the Avis guidelines by the Scottish courts; to the English Sentencing Council's 2020 Definitive Guidelines.
The analysis is undertaken with a view to considering the future of mandatory sentencing policies, and suggesting a new model of sentencing guidance for offences involving prohibited weapons. Combining a strong practical and theoretical focus on the sentencing of firearms offences, the book will be of interest to the judiciary, legal practitioners, academic researchers, and policy makers.
