The changing landscape of immigration detention in Australia: Preventive ‘crimmigration’ and the legislative response to NZYQ
Australia is not alone in facing a decades-long tug of war between the courts, the executive, and parliament over migration policy. In the absence of a constitutionally entrenched Bill of Rights, asylum seekers have relied on administrative law and fragmented constitutional arguments to contest the limits of immigration detention, precarious visa conditions, and legislative ratcheting. The High Court of Australia decision in NZYQ, handed down at …
Community justice centres mainstreamed? Making the impossible possible
Community Justice Centres (CJC) are a burgeoning justice phenomenon which focus on local justice solutions and which house a court with wrap-around community supports to address the underlying causes of offending.Drawing on case studies of CJCs in the USA and New Zealand, this article explores what justice systems can draw from this innovative court model by trying to mainstream its benefits.It argues that mainstreaming CJC initiatives holds real…
A criminological analysis of proceeds of crime legislation in three Australian states
In recent decades, Australian states and territories have introduced a raft of legislation aimed at stripping those involved in criminal activity of their ill-gotten gains. This contribution reports on a study into proceeds of crime legislation in three Australian jurisdictions: New South Wales, Western Australia and Queensland. Based on a document analysis and 40 interviews, we focus on the broader criminological aspects of how and why proceeds …
Antipodean perspectives on preventive justice: The High Court and Serious Crime Prevention Orders
Preventive justice as a field of scholarship emerged in response to the proliferation of preventive measures in the later part of the twentieth Century, and the threat preventive measures pose to individual liberties. Collectively, this scholarship seeks to articulate principled limits on state action to prevent harm. However, preventive justice remains an emergent field of scholarship, with many outstanding questions about its scope, utility and…
Law, Culture and Decolonisation: The Perspectives of Aboriginal Elders on Family Violence in Australia
Family violence within Aboriginal communities continues to attract considerable scholarly, governmental and public attention in Australia. While rates of victimization are significantly higher than non-Aboriginal rates, Aboriginal women remain suspicious of the ‘carceral feminism’ remedy, arguing that family violence is a legacy of colonialism, systemic racism, and the intergenerational impacts of trauma, requiring its own distinctive suite of re…
Reforming proceeds of crime legislation: Political reality or pipedream
In recent decades, Australian states and territories have introduced a raft of legislation aimed at stripping those involved in criminal activity of their ill-gotten gains. However, in doing so, this far-reaching legislation has the potential to undermine legal principles and protections. We recently completed a study into proceeds of crime legislation in Western Australia, New South Wales and Queensland. From our findings it is clear that Wester…
Perverts’, ‘Terrorists’, and Business as Usual: Pether and Preventive Justice Scholarship
In this article, I use the themes and arguments contained in Professor Penelope Pether’s unfinished monograph, ‘Perverts’, ‘Terrorists’, and Business as Usual: Comparative Indefinite Detention before and after 9/11, to reflect upon the emerging body of preventive justice scholarship. I argue that Pether’s account unsettles many of the assumptions and aspirations of preventive justice scholarship and highlights that preventive justice scholars, my…
UN decision on Marlon Noble case: Imprisonment of an Aboriginal man with intellectual disability found unfit to stand trial in Western Australia
On 23 September 2016, the United Nations (UN) Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities found that the Australian government had breached its obligations under the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. The case against Australia was brought by Marlon Noble, an Aboriginal man with an intellectual disability who was charged with sexual assault but found unfit to stand trial under the Mentally Impaired Defendants Act 1…
Indefinite Detention Meets Colonial Dispossession: Indigenous Youths With Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders in a White Settler Justice System
Foetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) is a non-diagnostic umbrella term encompassing a spectrum of disorders caused by prenatal alcohol exposure. This article reports on a qualitative research project undertaken in three Indigenous communities in the West Kimberley region of Western Australia, intended to develop diversionary pathways for Indigenous young people with FASD at risk of enmeshment in the justice system. Rates of FASD in some parts …
The Innovative Magistrate and Legitimacy: Lessons for a Mobile ‘Solution-Focused’ Model
Australian magistrates face many challenges in their work: heaving courtrooms, unrelenting court lists and cases involving a complex web of legally-knotted psychosocial issues. Innovative practices by a magistrate – creative ways of engaging with defendants, partnering with support services, and novel sentencing methods – can become essential for courtroom survival. Such methods may represent a challenge to the legitimacy, expectations and tradit…
Diversionary Pathways for Indigenous Youth with Fasd in Western Australia: Decolonising Alternatives
The over-representation of Indigenous youth in the Western Australian criminal justice system has been described as a source of national shame. Rates of incarceration are the highest in the nation: around 80 per cent of youth in detention in Western Australia are of Indigenous descent, while Indigenous youth represent only 6 per cent of the population. In recent years there has been a growing awareness that Indigenous youth are at a disadvantage …
A View Inside the Preventive State: Reflections on a Decade of Anti-Terror Law
This article examines the rise of prevention in Australia’s legal response to terrorism in the decade following September 11, 2001. In particular, it explores the question of how to understand and situate preventive anti-terror laws within the Australian legal system. It will be argued that the imperative of prevention in anti-terror law can be understood as part of a broader shift in emphasis in governance, rather than as an isolated response to…
