Dr. Sharon Duignan is a full-time lecturer at Atlantic Technological University in Galway. While working as a trainee solicitor in Dublin’s district courts, she observed a concerning trend: certain women defendants were being sentenced with unsettling frequency. This observation piqued her interest, prompting her to relocate to Galway to conduct research that could explain the underlying causes of this apparent pattern. Her primary research interests focus on law, criminology, and sentencing. During her doctoral studies at the University of Galway, where she obtained her Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Law, her research highlighted this overlooked demographic and the systemic factors that contribute to their recurrent struggles. Her work provides insights into Ireland's criminal justice system and underscores the need for gender-specific reforms.
