Courtney Hammond is a Lecturer in Forensic Psychology at the College of Health, Psychology and Social Care. Her research focuses on criminal justice policy, media discourse on crime, and rehabilitative interventions for offenders. Key areas include sentencing guidelines for severe crimes, stigma reduction for male domestic violence victims, and cross-cultural analyses of public perceptions of rehabilitation.
Her work combines quantitative and qualitative methods, addressing topics such as the criminalization of marginalized groups through media narratives, the efficacy of rehabilitative programs, and societal attitudes toward psychopathy and mental health in criminal contexts. Recent studies have examined the UK’s 'depraved killers' sentencing reforms and the impact of Black Lives Matter protests on racialized media portrayals of criminality.
Publications span journals like Forensic Science International: Mind and Law and Journal of Criminal Justice, with a focus on interdisciplinary approaches to forensic psychology and social justice.
