Ruth Sellin (University of Lincoln)

Ruth Sellin is a PhD student and Associate Lecturer at the University of Lincoln. Their doctoral work is exploring the gender-responsiveness if the criminal justice system, specifically in the case of women victim-offenders. To this end, she is conducting interviews with women victim-offenders, as well as police officers, lawyers and practitioners who all have experience with women victim-offenders in the CJS. Ruth’s aim is to provide a cohesive view of the issues and barriers this cohort faces in the CJS due to their dual experience of victimisation and criminalisation.
