Zoe is an early-career and first-generation academic who is an alum of Sheffield Hallam University, completing her undergraduate degree in BA Criminology in 2016-2019, following which she pursued an MSc in Criminology and Criminal Justice Practice during 2019-2020. She began teaching on the undergraduate and postgraduate provision at Sheffield Hallam University in 2020, supporting the delivery of the level 7 Social Research Methods module, level 5 Deconstructing Research and Real-World Cutting-Edge Research Methods modules and the level 4 Criminal Justice module.

She thereafter secured funding for her doctoral research in 2021, for which she also secured additional funding from the annual FindAPhD international scholarship competition. Throughout her doctoral degree, she has acted as a Postgraduate Mentor for fellow students. She also led the SIPS Research Showcase and Poster Competition, which enabled postgraduate students to present their own doctoral research or research undertaken as a Student Researcher/Research Assistant, following her own experiences in such positions during her undergraduate and postgraduate degrees.

Her doctoral research examines the policing practices associated with civil preventive orders and notices for sub-criminal (Anti-Social Behaviour) and criminal behaviour (Violence Against Women and Girls). Supervised by Dr Craig Paterson, Dr Jamie Grace and Dr Dario Ferrazzi at Sheffield Hallam University, who have a wealth of experience in human rights and policing. The project draws on ethnographic frontline observations, semi-structured interviews and secondary data from force data and guidance documents. To provide the first frontline ethnographic examination of the powers within a single police force. The findings from this study were published in the journal Policing & Society and used to support written evidence submitted to the House of Commons Committee on the Crime and Policing Bill.

Zoe has published in several academic journals, including the International Review of Victimology, Punishment & Society, Probation Quarterly and Criminology and Criminal Justice. She is a regular commentator on the practices associated with civil preventive orders and notices across various policy domains and an advocate of mixed methods ethnography.
