Katharine Hoeger

Dr Katharine Hoeger is a Research Associate in the Centre for Criminology. She recently completed a UKRI 'What Works' Policy Fellowship (ESRC Funded) in partnership with the College of Policing, which focused on the measurement and operationalisation of harm in relation to domestic abuse. This project considered how harm is measured within police data, the use of AI within the police response to domestic abuse, and how this relates to the impact of domestic abuse on victim-survivors. 

She also works as a Senior Research Fellow in the National Centre for VAWG and Public Protection (NCVPP) on a project analysing domestic homicides and suspected victim suicides following domestic abuse in England and Wales. She previously completed her DPhil at the Centre for Criminology examining the police response to the criminalisation of coercive control.
