Dr Marian Duggan joined the University of Kent in 2014, having previously been a Senior Lecturer in Criminology at Sheffield Hallam University.
Marian’s research focuses on informing policy and practice to reduce sexual, gendered and hate-based victimisation. She has published widely in these areas and is actively involved in the charitable sector, acting as a Trustee for the Rising Sun Domestic Violence and Abuse Charity. Marian has also volunteered with Circles of Support and Accountability (a sex offender desistance organisation), with South Yorkshire Police as an Independent LGBTQ Advisor and on a domestic violence helpline.
Marian was awarded her PhD in Law from Queen’s University Belfast in 2010. She holds an MA in Criminology, Rights and Justice (Lancaster University) and a BA (Hons) in Criminology and Criminal Justice (University of Central Lancashire).
Marian has published four books and several journal articles which address policy and practice in relation to gender, sexuality and victimisation. She has undertaken funded research into the efficacy of Clare’s Law (the Domestic Violence Disclosure Scheme), experiences of gender hate crime, and the prevalence of sexual and domestic abuse among students.
