Welcome Assistant Professor Dr. Katharine Brown

Saturday, August 1, 2026

Dr. Katharine Brown

Please join us in welcoming Dr. Katharine Brown to the Department of Criminology and Criminal Justice! She will teach CJUS-P594: Introduction to Research Methods this Fall. 

Katharine L. Brown received her Ph.D. in Criminology and Criminal Justice from Arizona State University (ASU). Katharine’s research employs mixed methodology (e.g., survey data collection, focus groups, and ethnography) to better understand issues of policing and homelessness. She works with several police departments and community agencies to identify gaps in responses to unhoused populations and works with those agencies to improve these resonses by adopting evidence-based practice. Her work has been published in The Journal of Experimental Criminology, Behavioral Sciences & the Law, and Policing: An International Journal.

Dr. Brown will serve as the department's newest Assistant Professor.
