Auteur: Sarah Moore

Sarah Moore joined the University of Bath in 2015, having previously held posts at Royal Holloway University of London and Queen’s University, Belfast. Her research ranges across the sociology of crime/criminal justice and the sociology of health, linked by an interest in the cultural construction of danger and the social mechanisms of blame. She is the author of two previous books. Ribbon Culture: Charity, Compassion, and Public Awareness (Palgrave Macmillan, 2008/2010), awarded the British Sociological Association’s Philip Abrams Memorial Prize and Crime and the Media (Palgrave Macmillan, 2014). Alex Newbury is Senior Lecturer in Law at the University of Brighton. Her research focuses on the impact of the law on marginalised or vulnerable groups and is informed by her previous work as a family law solicitor. She previously focused on young people, crime and risk, and has written widely about these topics. In 2015 she sat as a guest member of the Mayor’s Office Policing and Crime Committee in relation to tackling youth offending in the capital.
