Dr Shannon Dodd is a Senior Lecturer in Criminology and Criminal Justice at Australian Catholic University. Her research examines Australia’s correctional system, including body-worn cameras in custody, people with disability in prison, public attitudes to parole, and punitive trends in bail and parole. She currently leads a project funded by the Australian Institute of Criminology on parole waivers, investigating why some people forgo parole opportunities and remain incarcerated until their sentence expires. In 2023, she received the Australian and New Zealand Society of Criminology's 'Early Career Award'.
