  • Coronial determination of suicide

    B Carpenter, Bridget Weir et al.ARTICLEMortality2024

    The purpose of this article is to extend previous discussion of the relationship between coronial verdicts of suicide and suicide statistics, through a detailed examination of coronial decision-making during 130 inquests in Queensland, Australia between 2004 and 2018. This research suggests that the official category of suicide does not have the same meaning for different coroners, and it is unlikely that coroners follow the same rules in assigni…

  • Coronial decision-making and the management, classification and conceptualisation of the finding of ‘suicide’

    Gordon Tait, Steph Jowett et al.ARTICLEMortality2020

    This paper addresses some of the results from a large-scale-funded research project into the coronial conceptualisation and adjudgement of suicide, founded upon an ongoing dissatisfaction with the validity of suicide data. The research is based upon in-depth interviews with 32 coroners from all but one Australian jurisdiction and focuses upon the administrative, epistemological and ontological categorisation of suicide as a type of death. The cor…

    This article analyses the ethical and legal aspects of data-sharing and genomic research. It begins in Part II with an overview of the nature of genomic information, and whether it is exceptional when compared to other forms of health information. Part III considers the role of data-sharing in genomic research, with the importance of public trust in supporting genomic research considered in Part IV. The Australian regulatory framework for data-sh…

  • Determining a Suicide under Australian Law

    Steph Jowett, Stephanie Jowett et al.ARTICLEUniversity of New South Wales Law…2019Cited by: 1

    This article examines the approach taken by Australian coroners to interpreting the law relating to suicide, and to applying it in practice. A previous review of the laws and commentary guiding coroners in Australian states and territories revealed not only that coroners are the only persons tasked with making routine legal determinations of suicide, but that such legal guidance lacks clarity. This study involved semi-structured interviews with A…

  • Coronial Practice, Indigeneity and Suicide

    Open AccessGordon Tait, B Carpenter et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2018

    All available data suggest that, like many other Indigenous peoples, Australian Aborigines are significantly more likely to kill themselves than are non-Aboriginal Australians. This statistical disparity is normally positioned an objective, ontological and undeniable social fact, a fact best explained as a function of endemic community disadvantage and disenfranchisement. This research explores the possibility that higher-than-normal Aboriginal s…

  • Determining a Suicide under Australian Law

    Steph Jowett, Stephanie Jowett et al.ARTICLEUniversity of New South Wales Law…2018Cited by: 1

    This article examines the role of coroners in making legal determinations of suicide in Australia. Research indicates that the requirement to make findings of intent and capacity in unexpected, violent deaths can be difficult for coroners and recent government inquiries have suggested that the law contributes to the problem. A review of laws and commentary that guide coroners in Australian states and territories reveals not only that coroners are…
