Systematic review of available data and gaps on the prevalence of adults who require forensic mental health care in Australia
Doing Business in Zones of Legal Risk
Involvement of corporations in international crimes and conflict atrocities, such as crimes against humanity, war crimes and genocide, are neither isolated events nor uncommon. Importantly, corporate involvement in atrocity crimes is shaped by conditions in “zones of legal risk” (International Commission of Jurists), where gross human rights violations, atrocity crimes and extreme violence are pervasive. In this context, corporations become compl…
Incorporating lived experience into social work practice
Social workers with lived experience of incarceration can be more relatable and empathetic, improving their ability to connect and advocate for those they support. However, they face significant barriers to entering the profession, including difficulty obtaining accreditation to work with children, placement requirements, professional association eligibility, and exclusion from employment through criminal history checks and accumulated marginalis…
Deter, detain, deport and demonise
Crimmigration, the intertwining of immigration and criminal law, has become a feature of many legal systems around the world, but its application in Australia is noteworthy due to its ever-increasing harsh, hard-line approach. We argue that the Australian crimmigration model is comprised of three key facets: deterrence (to ‘stop the boats’); indefinite and/or offshore detention; and deportation. All are predicated upon the underlying driver of a …

Whilst the policy purpose of prisons is containment and rehabilitation, prisons must also provide a range of services to people who are incarcerated. Researchers have examined how service provision is complicated by features of the prison environment directed at safety and security, but less attention has been paid to the impact of managerialist practices focused on economic efficiency, service quality and resource allocation. Largely imported fr…
A safe haven? Women's experiences of violence in Australian immigration detention
Western nations like Australia should be safe havens for people fleeing their home countries due to war, persecution, and other threats. People make often perilous journeys in search of asylum expecting protection from violence. However, these expectations are not matched by the realities of Australian immigration detention. This study explores the realities of detention by analysing women's experiences of violence, including intimate partner vio…
‘Money up in smoke’
Gender and Risk
Previous research concerned with the experience of immigration detention focuses on the general immigration detention population, which mainly consists of men. This means that the experiences of men are treated as the norm, despite it being likely that women experience immigration detention differently. This study addresses this gap by focusing on the experiences of women detainees in long-term immigration detention in Australia. It examines the …
