[edit] Other Works

Aside from work into Cybercrimes and Criminal Justice, David also has a growing interest in popular cultures. He once played in the 1980s folk/ rock group God's Little Monkeys (formerly Malcolm's Interview) and also the Fabulous Salamanders - the less said about this the better, but he has since written articles on celebrity cultures and intellectual property rights.
