Resilience and Resistance in the Community Sector
The COVID-19 pandemic led to increases in family violence in Australia and elsewhere. In response, organisations in the domestic and family violence (DFV) sector, had to adapt to the emerging public health measures and worked collaboratively to protect the most vulnerable in the community. These services, including courts, rapidly transformed their methods of service delivery that are likely to continue for some time. But what have been the impli…
Australian police perceptions of women’s police stations
Women’s police stations that are designed to receive victims of gender-based violence first emerged in Latin America in the 1980s. In Argentina, these stations have unique aspects like multidisciplinary staffing that could guide responses elsewhere. Police responses to domestic and family violence (DFV) in Australia have continually failed victims and require much improvement. Responses combining police and other services are not completely alien…
Re-theorizing the progress of women in policing
Women’s entry into policing, a traditionally masculine occupation, has been theorized almost entirely through a liberal feminist theoretical lens where equality with men is the end target. From this theoretical viewpoint, women’s police stations in the Global South established specifically to respond to gender violence have been conceptualized as relics from the past. We argue that this approach is based on a global epistemology that privileges t…
Re-teorizar el progreso de las mujeres en la policía
El ingreso de las mujeres a la policía, una ocupación tradicionalmente masculina, ha sido teorizada casi enteramente a través de los lentes teóricos del feminismo liberal donde la igualdad con los hombres es el objetivo final. Desde este punto de vista teórico, las comisarías de la mujer en el Sur Global creadas específicamente para responder a la violencia de género han sido conceptualizada como vestigios del pasado. Nosotros argumentamos que es…
Women and policing in the South Pacific
Scholars have been critical of the gender-biased nature of policing, and its effects on service delivery. They highlight how law enforcement is male-dominated, and how this impacts negatively on women as offenders and victims of crime. Such criticisms have mobilised international and national institutional support for more gender equitable representation in policing agencies. A growing body of research has addressed the impact of increasing the n…
Weaponizing Covid-19
COVID-19 has increased threats to women's safety in Australia and globally. This research is based on a 2020 nationwide survey about the impacts of COVID-19 on domestic and family violence (DFV) services and allied sectors throughout Australia. This study focuses on how perpetrator behaviors-coercion, control, and violence-changed and intensified during the COVID-19 pandemic. Two central themes identified from this qualitative analysis were the i…
Women-led police stations
When domestic violence was criminalised in countries like Australia, United States and United Kingdom, many saw this as a victory, as the state taking responsibility for violence against women. The problem was that its policing was delegated to a masculinised police force ill-equipped to respond to survivors of gender violence. Latin America took a different pathway, establishing women-led police stations designed specifically to respond to the s…
The impact of Covid‐19 pandemic on Australian domestic and family violence services and their clients
During the early stages of the COVID‐19 pandemic, reports emerged that lockdowns were increasing the prevalence of domestic and family violence (DFV) in Australia and across the world. The lockdowns and restrictions were necessary to contain the pandemic. However, leaders in the domestic family violence sector expressed concerns early during 2020 that these lockdowns would lead to the escalation of domestic and family violence. Calling it a shado…

Criminologies of the Global South
Criminología del Sur
En el Sur Global abundan cuestiones vitales para la investigación criminológica y de relevancia política, con importantes implicancias para las relaciones Sur/Norte y para la seguridad y la justicia globales. Contar con un marco teórico capaz de apreciar la importancia de esta dinámica global contribuirá para que la criminología pueda entender mejor los desafíos del presente y del futuro. Empleamos la teoría del Sur de una manera reflexiva para d…
Crime and violence outside the metropole
This chapter overviews the distinctive patterns of men&s;s and women&s;s experiences of violence in rather different rural settings in Australia. It draws attention to the historic role that violence has played in the making and maintenance of rural community and identity. The chapter describes how a &s;metropolitan&s; bias in the discipline of criminology led until recently to the relative neglect of research into rural crime and violence. The a…
Irrational Addicts and Responsible Pleasure Seekers
Southern Criminology
Issues of vital criminological research and policy significance abound in the global South, with important implications for South/North relations and for global security and justice. Having a theoretical framework capable of appreciating the significance of this global dynamic will contribute to criminology being able to better understand the challenges of the present and the future. We employ southern theory in a reflexive (and not a reductive) …
Domestic violence (DV) service provision and the architecture of rural life
Intersectionality, Rural Criminology, and Re-imaging the Boundaries of Critical Criminology
One of the significant shortcomings of the criminological canon, including its critical strands—feminist, cultural and green—has been its urbancentric bias. In this theoretical model, rural communities are idealised as conforming to the typical small-scale traditional societies based on cohesive organic forms of solidarity and close density acquaintance networks. This article challenges the myth that rural communities are relatively crime free pl…
Pat Carlen, A Criminological Imagination
Established-Outsider Relations and Fear of Crime in Mining Towns
Using Elias and Scotson's (1994) account of established-outsider relations, this article examines how the organizational capacity of specific social groups is significant in determining the quality of crime-talk in isolated and rural settings. In particular, social 'oldness' and notions of what constitutes 'community' are significant in determining what activities and individuals are salient within crime-talk. Individual and group interviews, con…
Punitiveness and the Criminalisation of the Other
This paper explores the genealogies of bio-power that cut across punitive state interventions aimed at regulating or normalising several distinctive ‘problem’ or ‘suspect’ deviant populations, such as state wards, non-lawful citizens and Indigenous youth. It begins by making some general comments about the theoretical approach to bio-power taken in this paper. It then outlines the distinctive features of bio-power in Australia and how these inter…
Assessing the social impacts of the resources boom on rural communities
Until the 1970s mining leases were issued by state governments subject to conditions that companies build or substantially finance local community infrastructure, including housing, streets, transport, schools, hospitals and recreation facilities [Houghton (1993). Long-distance commuting: A new approach to mining in Australia. The Geographical Journal, 159(3), 281–290]. Townships and communities went hand in hand with mining development. However,…
Globalization, Frontier Masculinities and Violence
Over the last two decades, two new trajectories have taken hold in criminology—the study of masculinity and crime, after a century of neglect, and the geography of crime. This article brings both those fields together to analyse the impact of globalization in the resources sector on frontier cultures of violence. This paper approaches this issue through a case study of frontier masculinities and violence in communities at the forefront of generat…
Building Multicultural Social Capital In Regional Australia
Over the last decade the Commonwealth government has directed increasing numbers of humanitarian migrants to nonmetropolitan areas. The objective of this regional settlement plan has been an attempt to ensure that country areas also enjoy the economic and cultural benefits that migrants can bring. This article provides case studies of Greater Shepparton and Toowoomba; two of the centres which received influxes of new arrivals. The experience of G…
Masculinity, Rurality And Violence
The assumption that the size, anonymity and weakened social controls of urban living generates social conflict, disorganization and higher rates of crime and violence has been an article of faith in much criminological and social scientific inquiry since the nineteenth century (i.e. Tönnies 1897; Shaw and McKay 1931; Levin and Lindesmith 1937; Nisbet 1970; Baldwin and Bottoms 1976; Felson 1994). The paper challenges this article of criminological…

Sex Trafficking
This book is one of a series on contemporary social issues. It provides a painstakingly researched analysis of the contemporary phenomenon of sex trafficking. As the author Kathryn Farr points out, the phenomenon is not all that contemporary, as women and children have historically been trafficked and enslaved for the purposes of prostitution, particularly during war: in World War II on the southern islands of Okinawa, the Philippines, Hawaii, Li…

Policing Sexual Violence
Feminist Research in Crimino-Legal Studies
This paper was initially written for an oral presentation at a seminar organised by the Legal Intersections Research Centre at the University of Wollongong. Translating it into a text form for a wider readership has not proved easy, given the lively, loud and gendered court-room dialogue upon which it draws is unable to be reproduced. The article commences with a brief sketch of some of the defining characteristics of research in feminist crimino…
