Kennedy Danagher
@kennedydanagher
Law master’s student focused on criminal, international, and victim rights advocacy.
What I'm looking for
I am a master’s student in law with concentrated expertise in criminal and international law, victim and human rights, and constitutional law. My work blends rigorous legal research, forensic analysis, and hands-on advocacy to support survivors and inform policy.
I have contributed to real-world investigations with the International Cold Case Analysis Project and Amber Alert Europe, interned with atrocity-prevention and victim-advocacy organisations, and served as an associate editor producing timely legal journalism for practitioners and the public.
My academic research evaluates imperfect self-defence and trauma-informed legal responses, and I bring practical experience from forensic science, records management, and quality systems to pursue positions that bridge law, forensics, and victim-centred practice.
