Experiences of Post-Separation Coercive Control: Family Law-Involved Victim-Survivors’ Perspectives on Coercion, Litigation Abuse and Financial Impacts
Contributing to a growing body of research, this article examines the lived experiences of post-separation coercive control, including litigation abuse and financial abuse, among female victim-survivors involved in family law proceedings in Australia. Drawing on qualitative data provided by 14 female victim-survivors, this article explores how perpetrators exploit legal systems to perpetuate abuse and how system-level structures and processes may…
Examining the Impact of Domestic and Family Violence on Young Australians’ School‐Level Education
Australian policy and practice increasingly acknowledges the need to respond to children as victim‐survivors of domestic and family violence (DFV) in their own right. As part of this, and in recognition that schools often have the most consistent contact with young people experiencing DFV, there is mounting recognition of the role education settings can play in terms of early intervention and support provision for young victim‐survivors. However,…
Understanding Participant (Dis)Engagement From Domestic Violence Perpetrator Group Programs: A Review and Qualitative Synthesis
Men’s behavior change programs are a crucial component of contemporary efforts to address domestic violence, particularly (though not exclusively) across the Global North. Yet studies of program effectiveness consistently report high attrition rates and, importantly, an association between non-completion and recidivism. Scholars are thus increasingly concerned with understanding factors that predict program completion. However, limited research e…
Male victim-survivor views on the criminalisation of coercive control in Australia
The Fact That He Was a Police Officer Was Probably My Number 1 Challenge”: Victim-Survivor Experiences of Officer-Involved Domestic Violence in Australia
Officer-involved domestic violence (OIDV) is an underexplored phenomena in Australia and internationally. While in recent years some Australian states have adopted OIDV-specific policies, there remains little research which examines the experiences of victim-survivors of OIDV. This article addresses that gap through an examination of the experiences of 17 OIDV victim-survivors. The findings contribute new insights into how OIDV impacts risk; barr…

Understanding the Mediating Effect of Child Abuse and Poor Mental Health on the Use of Adolescent Family Violence: Findings From an Australian Study
There is increasing recognition of the use of family violence by children and young people, and the need to build the evidence base on understanding this form of violence. Adolescent family violence (AFV, also referred to as adolescent violence in the home) refers to the use of violence by a young person against another family member within the home, and can include physical, verbal, emotional, psychological, financial and/or sexual abuse and pro…
The role of perpetrator interventions in acknowledging children as victim-survivors of domestic and family violence in their own right
Central to recent domestic and family violence policy and practice reforms at the national and state level in Australia, there has been increasing recognition of the need to build system responses to children and young people as victim-survivors in their own right, as well as growing commitments to develop a suite of perpetrator interventions. These two foci, however, have been implemented in relative isolation from one another. This article crit…
We assumed it would all be fairly straight forward’: Exploring early implementation of the recommendations of the Victorian Royal Commission into Family Violence
Over the past decade, royal commissions have been increasingly employed to address some of Australia's most pernicious and persistent problems. However, their recommendations often languish unimplemented. Research on why so many proposals fail to make it into policy and practice is divided. To explore the fraught road from recommendation to reform, this article analyses the early implementation of the recommendations of the 2016 Royal Commission …
Cause of death: Femicide
Labelled ‘the shadow pandemic’ by UN Women, violence against women received considerable global public attention during 2020–21. Underpinning this moment of public concern, there lies a substantial history of efforts to document the nature of, and campaign against, the extent of violence against women globally. This is also the case in relation to femicide. Whilst we recognise that this is a contested term, for the purposes of this paper we use f…
Incredible Women: Legal Systems Abuse, Coercive Control, and the Credibility of Victim-Survivors
Research has long demonstrated that victim-survivors of intimate partner violence face barriers to being believed when they seek help via the legal system and are simultaneously at risk of their abuser weaponizing the legal system against them. This article draws on the experiences of 54 women victim-survivors of coercive control in Australia who had experienced legal systems abuse within criminal and civil protection order systems. Drawing on fe…
Re-imagining what counts as femicide
This Special Subsection on Re-imagining what counts as femicide brings together five original articles which, from different perspectives, seek to push, challenge, and redefine what counts as femicide. The contributions offered here excavate the conceptual issues of what, who, and where femicide 'counts'. In order to do so, the articles engage with epistemological and methodological questions regarding how different bodies of evidence on femicide…
Re-imagining the measurement of femicide: From 'thin' counts to 'thick' counts
The term femicide, while contested, focuses attention on women killed by men's violence. This focus has generated work on its nature and extent much of which examines the lethal act and the lethal actor in which the death is counted. These counts are themselves incomplete. Despite their shortcomings, these 'thin' counts have contributed to the increasing impetus for a wide range of global and local prevention and response initiatives designed to …
When staying home isn’t safe: Australian practitioner experiences of responding to intimate partner violence during Covid-19 restrictions
Times of crisis are associated with increased violence against women, often with reduced access to support services. COVID-19 is no exception with public health control measures restricting people’s movements and confining many women and children to homes with their abusers. Recognising the safety risks posed by lockdowns the United Nations declared violence against women ‘the shadow pandemic’ in April 2020. In the Australian state of Victoria, r…
Responding to women experiencing domestic and family violence during the Covid‐19 pandemic: Exploring experiences and impacts of remote service delivery in Australia
The COVID‐19 health pandemic has increased women's vulnerability to all forms of domestic and family violence (DFV). In the first weeks of March 2020, most Australian states and territories, like many other jurisdictions, entered into a period of government‐directed restrictions including stay‐at‐home orders, physical distancing limitations and closure of a significant number of community services. With more people confined to their homes, the ri…
The intergenerational transmission of family violence: Mothers' perceptions of children's experiences and use of violence in the home
Intimate partner violence (IPV) on average affects one in four women, with the majority of victim survivors identifying as mothers in national survey data. Children experiencing parental IPV are now equally understood as victims. Extensive research documents the short‐ and long‐term impacts of children's experiences of IPV on their safety and wellbeing. More recently, research has started to examine adolescent children's use of violence in the ho…

Improving justice responses for victims of intimate partner violence: Examining the Merits of the Provision of Independent Legal Representation
Justice processes have long been criticised for their inability to meet the needs of intimate partner violence victims and provide remedies that facilitate recovery. Despite a bevy of victim-oriented reforms, victims continue to report dissatisfaction in their engagement with the legal process. Recognising the failures of policy responses to date, the Royal Commission into Family Violence (2016) in Victoria, Australia, sought to reimagine justice…
Mothering through and in Violence: Discourses of the 'Good Mother
Domestic and family violence research recognises mothering is impacted by and implicated in abusive relationships and increasingly attends to the negative impacts of domestic and family violence on children, whether or not they are direct targets of perpetrator abuse. Contemporary research also situates the undermining of the mother/child relationship as common in abusive relationships. Bringing together data from two projects - one investigating…
Justice perspectives of women with disability: An Australian story
The article explores the meaning of ‘justice’ for women with disability who have experienced and reported violent crimes, typically, sexual assault and family violence. It contributes to the small body of literature that considers justice as articulated by those who have experienced violence and represents the only published research that brings to the fore perspectives on justice from the viewpoint of women with disability. Based on interviews a…
The use of protection orders in response to adolescent family violence: Mapping divergent Australian approaches and the merits of this criminal justice intervention
Several Australian state and territory jurisdictions permit parents of adolescents using violence to be listed as affected persons on a family violence protection order (the notable exceptions being Queensland and Tasmania), however, as yet there is minimal understanding of whether this is an effective response to this complex form of family violence. In seeking to address this gap in current knowledge, this paper has two aims. It analyses Austra…

Victim stories and victim policy: Is there a case for a narrative victimology
Since the 1980s, victims’ voices have been increasingly heard and have been influential in policy debates. Since that time, the nature and presence of those voices has changed shape and form from the influence and presence of victim centred organizations to the rise of the high profile individual victim. The purpose of this article is to explore the presence of one victim’s story, Rosie Batty, and to examine her influence on the rise of the polic…
Is more law the answer? Seeking justice for victims of intimate partner violence through the reform of legal categories
In 2015 in England and Wales a new offence of controlling or coercive behaviour was introduced with the aim of improving legal responses to intimate partner violence. Recognizing the historical limits of legal interventions in this area, this article examines the efficacy of coercive control as a conceptual device for improving access to law and justice outcomes for women victims. To do so, it considers the problems and possibilities of translati…

Criminology and the UN Sustainable Development Goals: The Need for Support and Critique
The UN Sustainable Development Goals address a number of criminological issues. This article accounts for why criminologists should contribute to this agenda in a way that might benefit the international development community. We acknowledge a heightened risk of crime in parts of the Global South but argue criminologists should cautiously embrace this agenda as a platform for achieving human and sustainable development outcomes. Supporting this a…

The efficacy of Clare’s Law in domestic violence law reform in England and Wales
In 2011 the high profile murder of Clare Wood led to the introduction of the national domestic violence disclosure scheme (‘Clare’s Law’) in England and Wales. The scheme aims to prevent the perpetration of violence between intimate partners through the sharing of information about prior histories of violence. Despite already spreading to comparable jurisdictions in the UK and Australia, to date the merits of a domestic violence disclosure scheme…

Minimum sentencing for murder in England and Wales: A critical examination 10 years after the Criminal Justice Act 2003
In 2003, the UK Parliament introduced a presumptive minimum sentencing scheme for the offence of murder. Schedule 21 of the Criminal Justice Act 2003 sought to achieve greater consistency in the setting of minimum terms of imprisonment, while also providing a clear directive to judges on the need to punish and deter particularly aggravating contexts of intentional lethal violence. This article critically analyses the effects of this approach to s…

The mandatory life sentence for murder: An argument for judicial discretion in England
In 1965, alongside the abolition of capital punishment, a mandatory life sentence for murder was implemented in England and Wales. The mandatory life sentence served as a signal to the public that the criminal justice system would still implement the most severe sanction of life imprisonment in cases of murder. Nearly 50 years later, this article examines whether the imposition of a mandatory life sentence for murder is still in the best interest…
The Honeymoon Killer: Plea Bargaining and Intimate Femicide — A Response to Watson
In October 2003, US citizen Christina Thomas died while scuba diving on Queensland’s Great Barrier Reef. Following over five years of delays, her husband David Watson accepted a plea bargain to which he pleaded guilty to manslaughter on the basis of criminal negligence.

The Victorian Operation of Defensive Homicide: Examining the Delegitimisation of Victims in the Criminal Court System
In November 2005, the Victorian government implemented a new offence of defensive homicide, alongside the abolition of the partial defence of provocation. This new category of homicide was introduced not as a replacement for the abolished provocation defence, but rather as a ‘safety net’ between murder and an acquittal for women who kill in response to prolonged family violence. Since its implementation, the operation of this new offence has alre…

This article, based on a larger…
Replacing Provocation in England and Wales: Examining the Partial Defence of Loss of Control
In October 2010, provocation was abolished as a partial defence to murder in England and Wales. Through the introduction of the Coroners and Justice Act 2009, a new partial defence of loss of control was implemented. This sought to overcome problems associated with the provocaton defence and the gendered operation of the law of homicide, particularly in relation to male‐perpetrated intimate homicides, and the inadequate response of the law to the…
Homicide Law Reform, Gender and the Provocation Defence: A Comparative Perspective
n\t\t\t\t\t The operation of the partial defence of provocation has animated significant debate for more than two decades among scholars, legal practitioners, politicians and the community.

Protections for children before the law: An empirical analysis of the age of criminal responsibility, the abolition of doli incapax and the merits of a developmental immaturity defence in England and …
The law’s response to child offenders has long animated debate and sparked doctrinal law reform in England and Wales. The provision of legal protections for children in trouble with the law has been central to such debates, and questions surrounding the age at which a child should be held criminally responsible remain a contested area of law both domestically and internationally. In 1998 England and Wales abolished the presumption of doli incapax…
Private security companies and domestic violence: A welcome new development
Due to the poor reputation of the private security industry and the multiple lines of concerns raised by scholars over the potentially corrosive costs of commercial security provision, it is important to consider whether for-profit companies are a welcome addition to the network of actors who respond to the needs of domestic violence victims. Using the case study of ‘Protective Services’ in Victoria, Australia, who appear to be one of the first k…

Can Human Rights Standards Counter Australia’s Punitive Youth Justice Practices
Recent practices in the administration of youth justice across Australian state and territory jurisdictions reveal a powerful tension between the punitive imperative of “tough on crime” political populism, and internationally agreed minimum standards relevant to the treatment of children. In questioning the extent to which human rights standards can and should be used as a useful tool to counter punitive youth justice practices, this article iden…
