Quantifying the Sites of Government, Commercial, and Personal Systems‐Perpetrated Financial Abuse
This study explores the institutional systems through which post‐separation financial abuse is perpetrated. While existing measures seek to quantify the harms experienced by women post‐separation, this study draws on financial, welfare and legal service casefiles to identify where such harms occur. Drawing on 76 de‐identified Victorian service casefiles, the findings show that government, commercial and private financial systems are implicated in…
Mapping Intimate Partner Financial Abuse Across Public and Private Systems
This article maps the ways that intimate partner financial abuse presents, and the range of public and private entities involved in its perpetration.

Our analysis documents the web of systems through which financial abuse can be perpetrated in ways that are largely uncheck…
Postseparation Financial Abuse Perpetrated Through Government Systems: A Survey of Australian Mothers’ Experiences of Child Support
Financial abuse is a form of violence that can extend well beyond intimate partner relationship breakdown. A survey of 540 Australian separated parents examined how financial abuse was perpetrated, with a focus on child support and other government systems. Women reported that their ex-partners minimized and withheld child support payments to inflict direct financial harm, while interactions between the family court, taxation, and benefit payment…
Addressing Economic Abuse in Intimate-partner Violence Interventions: A Bacchian Analysis of Responsibility
Purpose Burgeoning research on intimate partner perpetrated economic abuse highlights the devastating and lasting impacts of economic exploitation, economic control, and employment sabotage, most often endured by women. Despite recognition of the potential outcomes that can result from intimate partner perpetrated economic abuse, such as lifelong poverty, and housing and employment insecurity, there is a dearth of evidence on prevention intervent…
The New South Wales Law Reform Commission Draft Proposals on consent in sexual offences: A missed opportunity
This article analyses the Draft Proposals that emerged from the New South Wales Law Reform Commission (NSWLRC) Review of Consent in Relation to Sexual Offences. The NSWLRC Review was prompted in significant part by the high-profile case of R v Lazarus. We argue that the Draft Proposals do not adequately respond to the legal failures highlighted by Lazarus. In this sense, they represent a missed opportunity for substantive law reform
Women’s behavior as implied consent: Male “reasonableness” in Australian rape law
Defendants in rape trials rely on narratives of “implied consent,” situating women’s ordinary behavior as having indicated consent. Such narratives ignore women’s experiences, instead describing a male perpetrator’s subjective interpretation or inference of the woman’s actions. Implied consent narratives should have been eliminated by law reform introducing affirmative consent that redirected attention to steps that the perpetrator took to ensure…
Persistent Narratives of Force and Resistance: Affirmative Consent as Law Reform
This article explores the persistence of narratives of force and resistance in rape trials, informed by a thematic analysis of rape trial transcripts from the County Court of Victoria, Australia, between 2009 and 2015. Legislative reform in Victoria has moved towards an affirmative consent standard, requiring active communication by all parties to a sexual act. Such a standard should safeguard against narratives of force and resistance in rape tr…
