David Buil-Gil is a Senior Lecturer in Quantitative Criminology and Open Research Lead at the Department of Criminology, and Academic Lead for Digital Technologies and Crime at the Manchester Centre for Digital Trust and Society. His research areas cover geographic criminology, small area estimation applications in criminology, measurement error in criminological research, new methods for data collection and open data.
David is originally from Barcelona, Catalonia (Spain). He holds a Bachelor in Criminology from the Autonomous University of Barcelona (2011-2015) and a Master's in Crime Analysis and Prevention from Miguel Hernández University of Elche (2015-2016). David obtained his PhD in Criminology at the University of Manchester in December 2019. In his PhD, he applied model-based small area estimation techniques to criminological research in order to produce estimates and maps of the dark figure of crime, confidence in police work, worry about crime, and perceived neighbourhood disorder at small area level. His PhD research was funded by the University of Manchester Presidential Doctoral Scholar Award, and was awarded the Early Career Researcher Award 2021 of the Office for National Statistics.
