Life

Born in Ann Arbor, Michigan, Hinton completed a Ph.D. in United States History at Columbia University in 2013.[1] She was a Postdoctoral Scholar in the Michigan Society of Fellows and Assistant Professor in the Department of Afroamerican and African Studies at the University of Michigan.[2]

She has contributed articles and op-ed pieces to periodicals including the Journal of American History, the Journal of Urban History, the New York Times,[3] and the Los Angeles Times.[1][4]

Hinton's 2016 book From the War on Poverty to the War on Crime examines the history and modern-day issues in regard to the intertwined relationship between crime and poverty. She argues that this relationship goes farther back than one would think, such as anti-delinquency acts and the "War on Crime" in the Johnson Administration, Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act of 1974.[5]
