Curriculum Vitae                                          

Dr. Sarah Lockwood is an Assistant Professor of Criminology at the USF St Petersburg campus. She received her B.A. in both Criminology and Psychology from USF, and her M.S. and Ph.D. in Criminology and Justice Policy from Northeastern University. Her research centers on the impact of victimization on individual outcomes, with emphasis on how victims intersect with formal institutions such as police and health care providers. She is interested in exploring new identification techniques and responses to historically underserved victim populations, primarily in the areas of sex trafficking and hate crime. Her work has examined various victimization populations and experiences, including how victim outcomes change due to the responses of formal institutions, including barriers to access, stigma, mental health, help-seeking, and reluctance to engage with formal institutions. She has worked on multiple local and national grants for both sex trafficking and hate crime to better capture the needs of crime victims within and beyond the criminal justice system.
