Addressing Complex Social Problems Using the Lens of Family Violence: Valuable Learning from the First Year of an Interdisciplinary Community of Practice
It is imperative that universities continue to explore innovations that support staff and student learning and pursue their mission to promote social responsibility and community service. Communities of Practice have been used to facilitate innovation and regenerate teaching and learning in tertiary contexts, including interdisciplinary collaborations around complex problems. This study describes the challenges and achievements of the first year …
Making no-case submissions in self-defence claims for primary victims of intimate partner violence charged with criminal offending
Investigators, prosecutors, judges and juries have found self-defence against intimate partner violence (IPV) difficult to perceive on the facts before them because of inaccurate assumptions about the nature of this form of violence. Reforms have focussed on making sure juries have a more accurate understanding of IPV so they can make fairer assessments. These legislative and common law reforms have opened up space for a different kind of legal a…
Perceptions of LGBTQI+ diversity in the legal profession: ‘It's happening slow, but it’s certainly happening’
This article reports on a qualitative study aimed at understanding how LGBTQI+ law students and recent graduates perceive and experience the legal profession. While we found that several participants self-censor in interactions with the profession, others considered their LGBTQI+ identity as advantageous, enabling them to benefit from ‘diversity hiring’. Despite this, many participants regarded the legal profession as ‘conservative’ and influence…
Social Entrapment Evidence: Understanding Its Role in Self-Defence Cases Involving Intimate Partner Violence
This article considers what evidence juries need to help them apply the defence of self-defence where a woman claims she has killed an abusive partner to save her own life. Drawing on recent research and cases we argue that expert evidence admitted in these types of cases generally fails to provide evidence about the nature of abuse, the limitations in the systemic safety responses and the structural inequality that abused women routinely face. E…
Facts seen and unseen: Improving justice responses by using a social entrapment lens for cases involving abused women (as offenders or victims)
This article explores two recent cases. The first, where a woman from a culturally and linguistically diverse background (Rinnabel Blackmore) was killed by her abusive partner and the second, where an Aboriginal woman (Jody Gore) killed her abusive partner. In both cases, we consider the implications of using a social entrapment lens, which focuses on coercive control, the limits of the family violence safety response and the role of structural i…
A strange right to bear arms: District of Columbia v Heller as narrative
This article is an investigation into the unusual tolerance for guns in the United States (U.S.): how can such tolerance be sustained? It is a legal discourse analysis - a major legal text is its object of inquiry and it proceeds from the philosophical position that discourse itself reproduces substantive social experiences (here, living-with-guns). The legal text is District of Columbia v Heller (the U.S. Supreme Court's declaration on the 'righ…
