“ F*ck This, I Want to Get My Life Back ”: Examining Australian Young Women's Experiences and Expressions of Resistance to Intimate Partner Violence
Expanding understandings of youth intimate partner violence (IPV) beyond a risk-and-oppression paradigm, this study explored the way that resistance to IPV was expressed during 12 young women's relationships. This exploratory research study, in Victoria, Australia, was undertaken using visual ethnography—combining qualitative interviews and arts-based methods. This study found that the ways which young women enacted resistance to IPV occurred dif…

Australia – A Land for Young Women? Exploring Young Women's Positioning in Contemporary Australian Family Violence Discourses
Young women in Australia experience serious risks from intimate partner violence (IPV) as a form of family violence. However, there has been a lack of attention to the impact of this on young women and, as a result, these risks are not well understood. This article critically examines existing literature, policy and research and in doing so, specifically explores the ways in which young women aged between 10 and 20 years old are represented and p…
Improving access to justice for older victims of crime by reimagining conceptions of vulnerability
This article investigates the implications of recent research findings that establish that older victims of crime are less likely to obtain procedural justice than other age groups. It explores original empirical data from the United Kingdom that finds evidence of a systemic failure amongst agencies to identify vulnerability in the older population and to put in place appropriate support mechanisms to allow older victims to participate fully in t…
Children’s Privacy in Lockdown: Intersections between Privacy, Participation and Protection Rights in a Pandemic
Children and young people throughout the world have felt the effects of Coronavirus Disease 2019 and the decisions made in response to the public health crisis, acutely. Questions have been raised about adequately protecting children’s privacy, as schooling, play and socialising went almost exclusively online. However, due to the historical lack of children’s rights being embedded throughout decision-making processes (including important particip…

Serious concerns for the safety and well-being of children and young people are multiplying due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The United Nations Committee on the Rights of the Child has called for children’s urgent release from prison. Evidence demonstrates that incarceration can aggravate existing health conditions and result in new health issues, such as depression, suicidal thoughts and post-traumatic stress disorder (Australian Human Rights Commi…

It uses the lens of vulnerability theory to examine the ways in which this crisis exposed pre-existing fragilities between the state and its relationship with the advice sector, and the individuals who experience social welfare problems. The paper commences by exploring Fineman’s vulnerability thesis and its application to those experiencing social …
Esports and the Platforming of Child’s Play During covid-19

One form of online play which has become immensely popular with a young audience, is esports. However, esports and the platforming of play have been associated with pu…

Lifelong anonymity orders are rare in the UK. The most well-known cases are lifelong anonymity orders issued to protect adults who committed crimes as children.

These challenges have taken on a new form in the digital age and for family lawyers there are now important questions about the practicali…
