Weaponising Relationality? Judicial (Re)Interpretation of Loss of Control in Domestic Homicide Cases
The plight of women who kill their abuser was a key driver in abolishing provocation and introducing loss of control. However, it is increasingly documented that the partial defence to murder continues to aid violent men, while failing to assist abused women. Applying Nedelsky’s concept of relational autonomy, analysis of 117 appeal cases provides valuable insight into why reform aims have not been realised. Drawing upon intimate partner and fami…
Civilising loss of control? The role of criminal justice gatekeepers
Since its inception in England and Wales, the partial defence to murder of loss of control has generated a steady stream of appeals. Individually, those appeals have illuminated key aspects of the plea's operation. This paper, though, is the first to explore that operation via a systematic analysis of every loss of control appeal to date (110 cases). Using that data, the paper frames more effectively, and thus improves understanding of, a neglect…
Prioritizing determinants of cognitive function in healthy middle-aged and older adults: Insights from a machine learning regression approach in the Canadian longitudinal study on aging
Introduction: The preservation of healthy cognitive function is a crucial step toward reducing the growing burden of cognitive decline and impairment. Our study aims to identify the characteristics of an individual that play the greatest roles in determining healthy cognitive function in mid to late life. Methods: Data on the characteristics of an individual that influence their health, also known as determinants of health, were extracted from th…
The Vulnerable (M)other and the Autonomous Legal Subject: Rethinking Vulnerability in Criminal Law
In this article I apply Fineman’s vulnerability thesis to explore the ways in which vulnerability is constructed and mobilised in a criminal law context. Using a ‘failure-to-protect’ offence as a case study reveals contemporary constructs of vulnerability as both a problem to be solved and gendered. Constructing women as pathologically vulnerable allows the state and its institutions to downplay the situational vulnerability of women, evading res…
Punishing Mothers for Men’s Violence: Failure to Protect Legislation and the Criminalisation of Abused Women
This article explores the gender dynamics of 'causing or allowing a child to die', contrary to the Domestic Violence, Crime and Victims Act 2004, section 5. This offence was intended to allow for prosecution where a child had been killed and it was uncertain who had killed him/her, but also to allow for prosecution of non-violent defendants who failed to protect him/her. More women than men have been charged and convicted of this offence signifyi…
Subclinical atherosclerosis, cardiovascular health, and disease risk: Is there a case for the Cardiovascular Health Index in the primary prevention population
Results from this study suggest that routine administration of the CVHI in a primary prevention population would yield the benefits of identifying patients with existing subclinical CVD not identified through traditional CVD risk factors or scores, and bring physical activity and nutrition to the forefront of provider-patient discussions about lifestyle factors critical to maintaining and prolonging cardiovascular health
Criminalizing Vulnerability: Protecting ‘Vulnerable’ Children and Punishing ‘Wicked’ Mothers
This article aims to uncover how, in attempting to ameliorate the vulnerability of children, the offence of ‘causing or allowing the death of the child’ criminalizes abused mothers. It explores how, in the courtroom, tropes of female criminality and constructs of the ‘bad’ mother are mobilized in ways that are both gendered and ‘classed’. The effect is to silence female defendants, deprive their actions of context, and deny them agency. This argu…
