Dr Sarah Hutton

I’m Sarah Hutton, a criminologist and psychologist with a background in policing and a passion for tackling real-world issues like vulnerability, discrimination, and organised crime. After over a decade as a detective working on serious and complex investigations, I moved into academia where I now teach, supervise dissertations, and lead research projects that bridge the gap between theory and practice. Whether it’s designing new curriculum, supporting safeguarding reviews, or helping students explore tough social questions, I’m driven by a commitment to making criminology impactful and relevant.
