To Raise or Not to Raise: An Experimental Test of Community Support for Increasing the Minimum Age of Criminal Responsibility in New South Wales, Australia
While research has identified a disconnect between the minimum age of criminal responsibility (MACR) and public perceptions of criminal culpability among young people, no study has examined how offender characteristics influence support for reform using an experimental design. To address this, this study presents the first experimental test of public attitudes toward raising the MACR, offering a novel contribution to debates on youth justice refo…
Who defines desistance? Exploring the perspectives and experiences of female victim–survivors of intimate partner violence
A small body of research has started to explore the factors and processes that contribute to desistance from intimate partner violence (IPV). However, this evidence has been undertaken in the absence of consistent definitions of the construct that we are trying to measure and understand. We analysed the narratives of 15 female victim–survivors of IPV who reported a significant reduction or cessation of abuse for at least 6 months while still in t…

Identifying and addressing service barriers for children and young people who displayed harmful sexual behaviour
Purpose Services for children and young people who displayed harmful sexual behaviour (HSB) and their families have remained insufficient and siloed in Australia despite growing recognition of this problem. While some research explores service providers’ perspectives on the barriers and gaps preventing young people and families from accessing and engaging with support services, there is poor understanding of service users’ perspectives. This stud…
Saline Dreams: Learning From Owens Lake
This text examines the engineered ecology and resultant aesthetic implications of the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power’s Dust Mitigation Project at Owens Lake, California with an eye toward its aesthetic implications and potential for understanding large-scale landscape design in the Anthropocene. Imagined here is a near-future evolution of this infrastructure toward strange new landscapes, turning radically empirical environmental geoen…
Introduction to special issue on raising the age of criminal responsibility
Popular post‐separation parenting smartphone apps: An evaluation
In recent years a bewildering array of smartphone applications (“apps”) has emerged to support separated parents' communication. Post‐separation parenting apps vary in cost and features; they typically comprise a messaging tool, shared calendar, expense tracker and a means to export records for legal purposes. A key challenge for separated parents and family law practitioners alike is knowing which apps or app feature(s) can work well for differe…
Post-separation parenting apps in the hands of family law practitioners: Expectations versus experience
Post-separation parenting apps are an alternative to mainstream digital communication (e.g. text and email) for separated parents. They vary in cost and features, generally incorporating a messaging tool, shared calendar, expense tracker, and the ability to export records for legal purposes. While often recommended in the context of family law, evidence for efficacy and safety is lacking. This study sought insights from family law professionals a…
Risks and benefits of post-separation parenting apps: Perceptions of family law professionals in Australia and New Zealand
Mobile phones have become an essential part of modern family life. Their proliferation has been accompanied by a diverse range of apps, including apps for separated parents. Family law professionals are increasingly being asked about post-separation parenting apps by clients. Yet the empirical evidence about their potential benefits and risks is sparse. The present study draws on qualitative data from an online survey of 344 family law profession…
Drug markets and Covid-19: A spatiotemporal study of drug offence detection rates in Brisbane, Australia
Family law professionals’ views of post-separation parenting apps
The rapid proliferation of smartphones has led to a bewildering array of post-separation parenting apps, especially since the Covid-19 pandemic. These apps usually comprise a messaging tool, shared calendar, expense tracker, and a means to download messages and documents for courts. In Australia, as elsewhere, family law professionals are increasingly being asked about, or asked to recommend, smartphone apps to clients. There is also an emerging …
Organised crime and criminal careers: Findings from an Australian sample
A growing number of international studies have shown members of organised crime groups have different criminal career trajectories to volume crime offenders. This study analysed the recorded criminal histories of a sample of 3,007 individuals affiliated with known organised crime groups. Trajectory analysis revealed four distinct offending trajectories, differentiated by their onset, peak and frequency of offending. Consistent with overseas studi…
I am drug dependent’: A study of self-identification and prior criminal justice contact using archival data from the Drug Use Monitoring in Australia (Duma) program
Identity theories have long influenced criminological thinking, and much of that work warns of deviant certification and negative appraisals as promoting criminal continuity. In the drug-use literature, similar themes have emerged linking drug-use continuity to the strength of one’s identity as ‘dependent’ or ‘addicted’ to drugs. Using archival data drawn from the Drug Use Monitoring in Australia (DUMA) program, we explore the correlation between…

Youth crime as a ‘way of life’? Prevalence and criminal career correlates among a sample of juvenile detainees in Australia
For more than 60 years, scholars have often likened chronic and persistent offending to ‘living a criminal way of life’, yet these evocative motifs have not received much empirical scrutiny. In particular, the so-called criminal life-style is often conceptualized as something the chronic young offender opts into as an alternative to other pro-social pathways. Whereas for older offenders, it is something into which they find themselves trapped and…
Developmental Criminology and the Crime Decline: A Comparative Analysis of the Criminal Careers of Two New South Wales Birth Cohorts
Throughout the 1990s many countries around the world experienced the beginnings of what would later become the most significant and protracted decline in crime ever recorded. Although not a universal experience, the so-called international crime-drop was an unpredicted and unprecedented event which now offers fertile ground for reflection on many of criminology's key theories and debates. Through the lens of developmental and life-course criminol…
Modes of Communication between High-Conflict Separated Parents: Exploring the Role of Media Multiplexity and Modality Switching
Much of the work on media multiplexity theory (MMT) is based on unestablished relationships, in which more channels are presumed to be indicative of higher relational closeness. But a different set of relational dynamics may be at play in preexisting acrimonious partnerships. In this article, we investigate the use of different modes of communication by high-conflict separated parents (media multiplexity), and map changes in modes of communicatio…

Arson-associated homicide in Australia: A five year follow-up
Arson homicides are rare, representing only two percent of all homicides in Australia each year. In this study, data was collected from the AIC’s National Homicide Monitoring Program (NHMP) to build on previous research undertaken into arson-associated homicides (Davies & Mouzos 2007) and to provide more detailed analysis of cases and offenders. Over the period 1989 to 2010, there were 123 incidents of arson-associated homicide, involving 170 uni…
Juvenile Reoffending: A ten‐year retrospective cohort analysis
Criminologists and other developmental researchers have long acknowledged the importance of both continuity and change in antisocial and criminal behaviour over the life‐course. To the extent that young offenders having contact with the police will persist with offending into adulthood is an important social issue with significant implications for the ongoing development and implementation of early intervention and prevention programs. Using data…
Poly drug use among police detainees
Offenders with complex drug dependencies involving two or more drug types comprise a substantial proportion of drug court and drug diversion clients, yet evaluation studies have demonstrated that these offenders often have poorer retention rates and higher post-program reoffending rates. Poly drug use also has implications for police and law enforcement agencies, as users are potentially a more diversified group whose varied patterns of use makes…
Crimes against international students in Australia: 2005–09
A key part of the Australian Institute of Criminology’s role is to provide a capacity to investigate new and evolving crimes and in the past two years, there has been significant interest in determining the nature and extent to which international students studying in Australia are victims of crime. Detailed findings are provided from what is the most comprehensive student victimisation study ever conducted in Australia, based on an analysis of D…
