Biography
Professor Rachel Condry joined St Hilda’s College in 2010. She has previously been a lecturer in criminology at the University of Surrey, and a lecturer and British Academy Postdoctoral Fellow at the London School of Economics.
Professor Condry’s research focuses on the intersection of crime and the family. Her research interests include family violence, families of offenders and victims, prisoners' families, the family in youth justice, secondary victimization, narrative accounts and neutralizations, vicarious shame and stigma, and the state regulation of parenting and family life. Professor Condry's recent research projects have included a three year ESRC-funded project on adolescent to parent violence, a project on the partners of long-term prisoners funded by The Sir Halley Stewart Trust, and a British Academy-funded project on parenting expertise in youth justice. She holds a current ESRC IAA Knowledge Exchange grant working with the Home Office and a group of experts to produce an information guide for practitioners on adolescent to parent violence. She is also working on the topic of prisoners' families and social justice. Dr Condry is a member of the British Society of Criminology and is on the editorial board of the British Journal of Criminology and the ESRC's Peer Review College.
