Time Will Tell
Drawing on qualitative interviews with both victim-survivors (n = 11) and specialist service providers (n = 11) in Victoria (Australia), this article analyses formal support-seeking for co-occurring family violence and sexual harm through a temporal lens. Our findings focus on two main themes: (i) victim-survivor readiness and trauma-informed support; and (ii) service readiness, time constraints and delays in providing support. The analysis sheds…
The efficacy of the Delphi method for adapting cognitive interviewing instructions into culturally and linguistically diverse international policing contexts
In interviewing witnesses, the Cognitive Interviewing (CI) technique has become an international benchmark with the potential to significantly reduce coercive tactics in police interviews. However, this requires the adaptation of CI to new languages, cultures and legal systems. This article demonstrates that such adaptation is a more complex exercise than merely translating the training manuals. It proposes an evidence-based translation procedure…
Translated Transcripts From Covert Recordings Used for Evidence in Court
Nation states increasingly apply electronic surveillance techniques to combat serious and organised crime after broadening and deepening their national security agendas. Covertly obtained recordings from telephone interception and listening devices of conversations related to suspected criminal activity in Languages Other Than English (LOTE) frequently contain jargon and/or code words. Community translators and interpreters are routinely called u…
Connecting survivors to therapeutic support and criminal justice through informal reporting options
This article analyses the content of 483 reports of sexual violence, including rape, sexual assault, child sexual abuse and various forms of sexual harassment, made to a digital reporting tool (DRT) developed by a rape crisis centre in Melbourne, Australia. These written digital reports were made in a confidential and informal capacity, with all de-identified reports distributed to relevant policing jurisdictions to support intelligence gathering…
The Impact of Multilingualism on Reporting Domestic Violence in Mozambique
This article examines the linguistic environment in which police and justice agencies conduct interviews in domestic violence cases in Maputo, Mozambique. In Maputo, most people speak one or more African languages and many do not speak the official language, Portuguese, fluently. Moreover, a complex justice environment in Maputo incorporates customary law such as community-based mediation. This article examines justice and civil society stakehold…
Abbott’s ‘budget crisis’, Cald women’s loss? Service providers explore the impact of funding cuts
Women have been disproportionately affected by funding cuts to services following the 2008 global financial crisis. Using a feminist intersectional analysis of austerity measures applied to family violence (FV) services in Victoria, Australia, including 11 service provider interviews, we find that: the Australian government drew on global narratives of austerity in constructing a 'budget crisis', with subsequent cuts to funds addressing FV; budge…
Written-response interview protocols
The confidential reporting of sexual assaults can play an important role in support processes for victim-survivors and has the potential to improve the rate of official reporting of sexual assault to police. However, the self-reporting forms currently used for this purpose are not developed in line with the research evidence regarding forensic interviewing techniques, and nor have they been trialled and evaluated for their effective use in sexual…
Silence
When Silence Means Acceptance
This article presents a linguistic analysis of police-suspect interviews with a focus on the right to silence. The author, a linguist, seeks to introduce the legal community to a linguistic understanding of the way that a person might invoke their right to silence and explain how the rules of conversation will have a critical impact on the potential for adverse inference. Extracts from police interviews are analysed using a Conversation Analysis …
The Language of Police Interviewing
Police interviewing is a critical part of the justice process, and more attention is now being paid to training in interview techniques. This new study uses tools drawn from interactional sociolinguis
Establishing the structure of police evidentiary interviews with suspects
This paper provides a description of the structure of police interviews|which aligns the institutionally defined (functional) parts of the interview with a linguistic description meaningful for the analysis of talk in interaction. The analysis is based on data drawn from recordings of police interviews with suspects from rural Australia. It is found that, in particular, the shift from the formal introductory part of the interview to the informati…
