Dr Clifford Williams Author

Dr Clifford Williams came from a Quaker family and at an early age he was involved in politics. Growing up as a gay teenager he sometimes felt isolated until he discovered a gay youth group and went along. This book captures that experience and puts it in the context of the time. He studied History and Anthropology at SOAS, obtained a Master of Philosophy degree in Criminology at the University of Cambridge, and a PhD from the University of Bradford. He served 25 years in the police service, initially having to keep quiet about his sexual orientation. He is author of numerous articles and books. Recent publications include A History of Women Policing Hampshire and the Isle of Wight 1915-2016 (2016) and The Unsolved Murder of Vera Glasspool (2018). Clifford now lives in Hampshire.
