Biography
Dr. Sharon Hayes has been researching and teaching in the areas of criminal justice, criminology, moral philosophy and ethics for the past twenty years and has qualifications in political science, philosophy and ethics. Over the past decade she has developed a focused research profile and track record of publications in the areas of sexuality/gender studies, specifically sexual morality, sex and crime, same-sex domestic violence and sexuality in the classroom.
She is lead author of Sex, Crime and Morality (Willan Publishing, Oxford, 2011), and is co-editor of Social Ethics for Legal and Justice Professionals (Pearson Education Australia, 2006).
Sharon’s current research interests include the construction of female sex offenders, the geography of sex trafficking, and the theoretical underpinnings of intimate partner abuse, and she has two books forthcoming: Sex, Love and Abuse (with Belinda Carpenter and Matthew Ball, Palgrave) and The Politics of Sex Trafficking: A moral geography (with Erin O’Brien and Belinda Carpenter, Palgrave). Sharon is currently working with research partners in the United Kingdom to develop new conceptualisations of female paedophilia with a view to conducting empirical research in both Australia and the UK.
Sharon is also Undergraduate Director in the School of Justice and teaches JSB175 Social Ethics and the Justice System and JSN101 Justice and Human Rights. In 2011, she won a Vice Chancellor’s Award for Excellence in teaching.
