Victim blaming and gender
News reporting plays an important role in shaping and reinforcing community understanding of intimate partner violence, as well as assumptions about its nature. This study used a framing analysis of a sample of media reports of intimate partner homicides published on Australian online platforms across a 3-year period (1 August 2014–31 July 2017). The aim was to explore how victim-blaming narratives within media coverage varied according to the ge…
Why do people fail to comply with bail? An exploratory case study of two court jurisdictions in Queensland, Australia
Media discourses of intimate partner violence in Queensland newspapers
Media discourse has a profound effect on public opinions. Prior research, the majority of which has been conducted internationally, shows that print media constructions of intimate partner violence (IPV) operate within a patriarchal framework which normalizes and constructs men's violence against women as acceptable. This research explored Queensland's print media representation of IPV. Results show that the reporting of IPV is episodic, sensatio…
Keeping it in the family
Prior research finds young people are less satisfied with police than their older counterparts. Despite this, our understanding of youth attitudes to police is limited, as most research has focused on adult attitudes to police. This study adds to our understanding by examining the influence of parent-child dynamics on youth attitudes to police. We predict that youth attitudes to police will be influenced by their parents' attitudes. A survey of 5…
Similar Punishment
Despite shifts in Western liberal democracies towards stronger criminal justice responses to domestic violence, the issue of sentencing disparity between domestic and non-domestic violence offending cases remains largely neglected. Using a population of cases sentenced in the New South Wales (Australia) lower courts between January 2009 and June 2012, we report multivariate analyses of the sentencing of domestic violence and non-domestic violence…
Gender, Indigeneity, and the Criminal Courts
Using the focal concerns perspective, this study extends C. Bond and S. Jeffries's (2010 Bond , Christine E. W. and Samantha Jeffries . 2010 . “Sentencing Indigenous and Non-Indigenous Women in Western Australia's Higher Courts.” Psychiatry, Psychology and Law 17 : 70 – 78 .[Taylor & Francis Online], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]) past statistical sentencing research on Indigeneity and gender by undertaking a narrative exploration of sent…
Australian Domestic Violence Protection Order Legislation
In Australia, protection orders are a key legal response to domestic violence, and are often viewed as a way of providing for victim safety. For instance, recently the joint Australian and New South Wales Law Reform Commissions recommended that a common core purpose of all state and territory domestic violence legislation should be ‘to ensure or maximise the safety and protection of persons who fear or experience family violence’ (2010: Recommend…
The Impact of Indigenous Status on Adult Sentencing
The gross overrepresentation of Indigenous peoples in prison populations suggests that sentencing may be a discriminatory process. Using findings from recent (1991–2011) multivariate statistical sentencing analyses from the United States, Canada, and Australia, we review the 3 key hypotheses advanced as plausible explanations for baseline sentencing discrepancies between Indigenous and non-Indigenous adult criminal defendants: (a) differential in…
Harsher Sentences
Overall, reviews of international sentencing research conclude that offenders' race/ethnicity has a direct effect on sentencing outcomes. Although specific research on Indigenous status and sentencing is much more limited, there is emerging evidence that Indigeneity also has a direct impact on sentencing outcomes. While North American research suggests harsher outcomes, Australian research indicates more lenient outcomes at some stage of the proc…
Measuring Risk and Blameworthiness in the Sentencing of Criminal Defendants
The focal concern perspective dominates quantitative explorations of judicial sentencing. A critical argument underlying this perspective is the role of judicial assessments of risk and blameworthiness. Prior research has not generally explored how these two concepts fit together. This study provides an empirical test of the focal concerns perspective by examining the latent structure among the measures traditionally used in sentencing research, …
Sex and Sentencing Disparity in South Australia's Higher Courts
In Australia, studies examining sex differences in sentencing are limited. Using data from South Australia's higher courts, this article explores a study on the impact of sex on the decision to imprison and the length of imprisonment. After adjusting for past and current criminality, results showed that men were significantly more likely than women to be sentenced to a term of imprisonment and that when sentence length was decided, men received l…
Narratives of mitigation
In their statistical analyses of higher court sentencing in South Australia, Jeffries and Bond (2009) found evidence that Indigenous offenders were treated more leniently than non-Indigenous offenders, when they appeared before the court under similar numerical circumstances. Using a sample of narratives for criminal defendants convicted in South Australia’s higher courts, the current article extends Jeffries and Bond’s (2009) prior statistical w…
