Stephanie is currently a Senior Lecturer in Criminology at Northumbria University.

She is a former Lecturer in Criminology at Edinburgh Napier University where she taught victimology and a number of other topics on both the BA criminology and the MSc in Applied criminology and forensic Psychology. Prior to beginning at Napier, Stephanie completed a British Academy Post-Doctoral fellowship at the University of Edinburgh, where she also completed her PhD.

Stephanie’s research surrounds victims of crime, and is primarily concerned with issues surrounding victim labelling, psychological responses to victimisation, and (non)involvement with the criminal justice system. Other emerging areas of interest include vicarious or secondary trauma and post-traumatic growth.
