Sarah Britto is a Professor in the Department of Justice Studies at the University of Regina. She received her Ph.D. in Criminology and Criminal Justice from Florida State University and has previously been a faculty member at Georgia State University, Central Washington University, and Prairie View A&M University. Much of her research focuses on media portrayals of victims, offenders, and criminal justice professionals and how these portrayals shape crime-related public perceptions, such as attitudes toward the police, fear of crime, and punitive attitudes. In addition to media research, she has also published a number of studies on homicide and co-authored the book In the Shadow of Death: Restorative Justice and Death Row Families.
