Chloë's main research interests are criminal law, legal theory, legal history, and the relationship between these areas. She is particularly interested in intellectual and cultural legal history, focussing on the ways that prevailing ideas have shaped the law's development and continue to inform our contemporary assumptions. She has published in these areas and in the areas of law and gender and law and religion.

Chloë is the author of the recently-published monograph Inducing Intimacy: Deception, Consent and the Law and is PI on the Leverhulme-funded project A History of Hurt Feelings and the Law.
