Comparing Police Officers’ and Domestic Violence Victims’ Perspectives on Body-Worn Cameras
Employing a mixed-methods approach, this study explores the role of police body-worn cameras (BWCs) in enhancing domestic and family violence (DFV) policing. Data were collected from surveys administered to police officers in two Australian jurisdictions (N = 452) and a nationwide sample of DFV victims (N = 119), complemented by qualitative analysis of open-ended responses. Findings demonstrate that BWCs contribute to objective evidence collectio…
How police body-worn cameras can facilitate misidentification in domestic and family violence responses
Police body-worn camera (BWC) technologies—affixed to a vest, sunglasses or cap—are deployed by all Australian police agencies, including in frontline responses to domestic and family violence (DFV). This paper presents the findings from the first Australian study focused on how women DFV victim-survivors view and experience BWCs in police call-outs and legal proceedings. Informed by a national survey of 119 victim-survivors, it explores two key …
The merits and risks of body-worn camera footage in domestic and family violence incidents and legal proceedings
There has been significant investment by police agencies in the use of body-worn cameras (BWCs). Preliminary evidence suggests that when used in the context of domestic and family violence, BWC footage may strengthen evidential cases and prosecutions. There is, however, a paucity of research examining the merits of and risks posed by the use of BWC footage in DFV incidents and legal proceedings. Notably absent in much of the literature are the vi…
Police Body-Worn Cameras as a Response to Domestic and Family Violence
Body-worn cameras (BWCs) have been promoted internationally to enhance responses to domestic and family violence (DFV). However, little is known about their utility, benefits, and limitations. Drawing upon the insights of DFV practitioners who support victim/survivors in the Australian states of Queensland and Western Australia, this article finds that while BWCs can capture some DFV incidents, they are unable to show their full context and impac…
Carceral churn
This article discusses findings from an ethnographic study of a bail and remand court in Victoria, Australia. Through a focus on the sensory dimensions of forced movements within and through the bail court, the article contributes to the burgeoning sub-field of sensory criminology and develops the concept of ‘carceral churn’. The article argues that the bail court’s churn reproduces criminal and carceral subjects and is implicated in a project of…
Filicide offenders
Filicide is the killing of a child by a parent or parent equivalent. Between 2000–01 and 2011–12, there were 238 incidents of filicide in Australia involving the death of 284 children. This paper examines the characteristics of custodial parents, non-custodial parents and step-parents charged with the murder or manslaughter of their children. Offender circumstances and characteristics differed according to the offender’s gender and custodial rela…
When Parents Kill Children
Justice Betty King
Justice Betty King sat on the Supreme Court of Victoria for 10 years from 2005–15. Prior to that she was a judge of the Victorian County Court from 2000–05 after a career at the Victorian Bar from 1975–2000. During her career she was a pioneer for women in many respects, being only the 24th woman called to the Victorian Bar, the first woman prosecutor in Victoria, the first woman Commonwealth prosecutor, and one of the first Victorian women appoi…
Family Violence in Domestic Homicides
This article examines the impact of legislative reforms enacted in 2005 in Victoria, Australia, on legal responses to women charged with murder for killing their intimate partner. The reforms provided for a broader understanding of the context of family violence to be considered in such cases, but we found little evidence of this in practice. This is partly attributable to persistent misconceptions among the legal profession about family violence…
The Implementation of Feminist Law Reforms
In 2005, the Australian State of Victoria abolished the controversial partial defence of provocation. Part of the impetus for the reforms was to challenge provocation’s victim-blaming narratives and the defence’s tendency to excuse men’s violence against intimate partners. However, concerns were also expressed that these narratives and excuses would simply reappear at the sentencing stage when men who had killed intimate partners were convicted o…
Victoria's New Homicide Laws
The controversial partial defence of provocation has now been abolished in three Australian jurisdictions, including Victoria. Recent developments in Victorian case law would appear to suggest a continuation of ‘excuses’ for male anger and violence towards women that position the woman victim as to blame for her own death. This article considers that the 2005 abolition of provocation was only in part designed to redress the problem of victim-blam…

Questions of Guilt and Innocence in the Victorian Criminal Trial of Robert Farquharson and the Fact Before Theory Internet Campaign
This article follows the Victorian trial of Robert Farquharson for the murder of his three sons who drowned after the car he was driving veered off the road into a dam on Fathers Day 2005. It discusses the implications of the use of forensic photographs by the prosecution at the trial, which supported the jury's finding of guilt, on the Fact Before Theory website launched by an anonymous supporter of Robert Farquharson in the trial's aftermath. T…

Rewriting the event of murder
Affectively speaking, I think that words can be much more harmful than actions. There’s a sting in words which no action can replicate (Cummins J Leonboyer Nov 1999: 1168). The opening quote to this article reflects a legal moment in which there is a movement or passage from the dead body to the legal text. The above statement was made by Cummins J during legal argument in the absence of the jury in Leonboyer, a case I observed. Counsel for the d…
