Life

Born in Ann Arbor, Michigan[5] Hinton completed a Ph.D. in United States History at Columbia University in 2013.[3] Before joining the Yale Faculty she was a John L. Loeb Associate Professor of the Social Sciences in the Departments of History and African and African American Studies at Harvard University, and a Postdoctoral Scholar in the University of Michigan Society of Fellows.[6] Hinton divorced her first husband in 2017. She is remarried and lives in New Haven with her current husband and their two children.

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,[7] and the Los Angeles Times.[3] [8]

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, the "War on Poverty" and "War on Crime" in the Johnson administration, and the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act of 1974.[9]

Hinton served as PhD advisor for poet and scholar Jackie Wang.[10]
