Sarah joined LJMU as a lecturer in Criminology in 2014. Sarah's PhD explored the impact of social media (and other communication technologies) on post-adoption contact between adopted children and their birth relatives. The research looked at the risks and benefits of technological forms of contact and how these methods interact with more traditional forms of communication.

Sarah's main research interests include children and young people's use of the internet and communication technologies, child protection and social work responses, and the criminalisation and victimisation of looked-after children.

Sarah is currently undertaking two QR funded projects. The first explores multi-agency responses to the victimisation and criminalisation of looked-after children. The second explores the lived reality of young people’s experiences of online risk and harm in a coastal resort.

Sarah is Fellow of the Higher Education Academy and a member of the LJMU Centre for the Study of Crime, Criminalisation and Social Exclusion.
