==Academic education and legal career==
Graduating from the University of Rhodesia with an LL.B (Hons) (London), he was awarded a Commonwealth Scholarship for postgraduate studies in UK and went on to study criminology, psychology and law at King's College London and to receive a postgraduate diploma in criminology from Edinburgh University. He then returned to Rhodesia to become an advocate of its High Court.〔
Nairn was appointed as a magistrate at 21, which was the youngest ever appointment of this type in the then Rhodesia.〔 He went on to become the private secretary to Minister of Justice, Law and Order of that country as well as a senior lecturer in law and criminology at the then University of Rhodesia.
Moving to South Africa, Nairn became a senior lecturer in law at the University of Cape Town and later a professor of law and criminology and the Director of the Institute of Criminology at the same institution. In 1979 Nairn published a paper "To Read or Not to Read, Aspects of Prisoners' Rights",〔Nairn RG, To Read or Not to Read, Aspects of Prisoners' Rights, South African Journal of Criminal Law and Criminology, 3, 57-60, 1979〕 which exposed the illegality in international law of the South African law that permitted prison officials to deny prisoners reading materials. This article was picked up by the US press, causing embarrassment to the apartheid government. As a result Nairn was banned from South African prisons, cutting him off from his main research topic.
