Biography: 

Kate Fox received her Ph.D. in Criminology, Law and Society from the University of Florida in 2009.  She served three years on faculty of the College of Criminal Justice at Sam Houston State University before joining the faculty at Arizona State University in 2012.  Fox is Director of the Research on Violence against American Indians Lab.  Her research focuses primarily on crime victimization, particularly among underserved populations, including American Indian women, offenders and inmates, and migrant women.  Her research examines violent victimization, domestic violence, stalking, family violence, and female genital mutilation, among other forms of victimization.  Within these research domains, her work examines the needs of victims, the effectiveness of programs, and theoretical explanations for victimization. 

 

Fox is currently partnering with American Indian leaders across the state of Arizona as part of the recently passed HB2570, which involves the creation of a Study Committee to examine the murder and missing of Indigenous women and girls (MMIWG).  Fox is also co-Investigator on a $1M project funded by the Department of Health & Human Services Office of Women’s Health, which is a large-scale data collection effort to understand and improve the health care needs of Somali refugee women who have experienced female genital cutting/mutilation.  As part of this project, over 800 Somali women were surveyed about a variety of issues related to their own genital mutilation, including health care experiences and needs as well as their perceptions and cultural beliefs about female genital cutting.  

 

Her work recently published in top-tier journals, including the American Journal of Public Health, Criminology, Justice Quarterly, Journal of Interpersonal Violence, and Violence & Victims.
