Life and career

He was Professor and Head of the Department of Applied Psychology, at University College Cork from 1983 to 2005. Whilst in Cork, he formed the COPINE Project ("Combating Paedophile Information Networks in Europe"): this was an EU funded research initiative which was originally developed in cooperation with the Paedophile Unit of the London Metropolitan Police. As part of the Project work, with colleagues he helped to develop the COPINE scale.[1][2] The COPINE Scale is a typology to categorize child abuse images for use in both research and law enforcement.[3] The ten-level typology was based on analysis of images available on websites and internet newsgroups. Other researchers developed similar ten-level scales.[4] He has also written of the threat of virtual child pornography, materials which "appear" to involve minors.[5] In 2005, Taylor became Professor of International Relations and Director of E-Learning at the Centre for the Study of Terrorism and Political Violence University of St Andrews, where he subsequently became Director in 2009. In this period Taylor developed elearning programmes in Terrorism Studies (Certificate in Terrorism Studies and Diploma M.Litt in Terrorism Studies).[6] He is currently editor of the journal Terrorism and Political Violence. Recent research relates to terrorism and the Internet.
