About
As well as being the programme lead for MSC Criminology, Hollie is also Marketing Officer of The Human Factor Professional Learning Programme. She also serves on the Apprenticeship Progress Review Team and is a PhD candidate.
Hollie holds a BSc in Communication and Media, Post-Grad Conversion & Diploma in Psychology and MSc in Criminology.
Hollie started her career in the Public Protection sector within various police forces, while undertaking her MSC in Criminology. Prior to becoming a full-time lecturer of Criminology, Hollie worked in the Multi-Agency Safeguarding Hub (MASH) triaging safeguarding reports for all types of crime and highlighting concerns to relevant agencies that may have been missed by frontline officers and detectives.
From here, Hollie specialised in domestic abuse and moved roles into a MARAC (Multi-Agency Risk Assessment Conference) Co-ordinator, where she worked as a part of a team in the prevention of homicide in high risk domestic and honour-based abuse cases, where she was responsible for researching, curating and implementing safeguarding measures.
Research
I am currently a member of the Sexualised Violence and Abuse Research Lab, focusing on the psychosocial factors involved in sexual violence, abuse and trauma prevention and recovery. The Lab also looks to develop theory-based interventions within an empowerment ethos to improve well-being outcomes for survivors of sexual violence and abuse.
I am also a current part-time PhD candidate, with my research centred on empowering and encouraging police personnel to report sexual misconduct and harmful practice amongst their colleagues, and to recognise the systemic barriers which may be in place that prevent reporting.
