Justice in the Streets? Responses to Public Homelessness and Public Dissent. This project focuses on legal and social regulation of city streets, including the impact on the increasing numbers of Australians experiencing public homelessness or engaging in public protest. Typical legal and policy responses tend towards criminalisation, exclusion and surveillance; the consequences for affected individuals include intensified social stratification and disadvantage along with risks of involvement in ....Justice in the Streets? Responses to Public Homelessness and Public Dissent. This project focuses on legal and social regulation of city streets, including the impact on the increasing numbers of Australians experiencing public homelessness or engaging in public protest. Typical legal and policy responses tend towards criminalisation, exclusion and surveillance; the consequences for affected individuals include intensified social stratification and disadvantage along with risks of involvement in the criminal justice system. This project examines legal, social and municipal strategies regarding public homelessness and public protest and investigates their impact on individuals and groups affected. Expected benefits include proposals for ways of reforming law and policy to achieve ‘spatial justice’ in city streets.Read moreRead less

The Digital Criminal Justice Project: Vulnerability and the Digital Subject. Digital technologies are rapidly transforming the criminal justice system, with audio visual links replacing physical presence in courtrooms and direct human communication. But are these technologies delivering fair criminal justice? This project aims to examine the scope and impact of digital justice on vulnerable users. It expects to generate new knowledge on digital justice and vulnerability using comparative law, in ....The Digital Criminal Justice Project: Vulnerability and the Digital Subject. Digital technologies are rapidly transforming the criminal justice system, with audio visual links replacing physical presence in courtrooms and direct human communication. But are these technologies delivering fair criminal justice? This project aims to examine the scope and impact of digital justice on vulnerable users. It expects to generate new knowledge on digital justice and vulnerability using comparative law, interviews and observations across three countries. Expected outcomes include a model of digital vulnerability and strategies to address digital inequality. This should significantly benefit policy-makers, practitioners and public confidence in the justice system during this period of digital transformation.Read moreRead less
Preventing intimate partner homicide. The project aims to develop a framework for an integrated whole systems preventive approach to intimate partner homicide – the most common type of violence against women worldwide and the leading cause of death amongst Australian women aged between 15 and 44. The project will review a decade of intimate partner homicides in Australia to identify points of intervention that might have prevented killings. This knowledge is intended to inform and help develop a ....Preventing intimate partner homicide. The project aims to develop a framework for an integrated whole systems preventive approach to intimate partner homicide – the most common type of violence against women worldwide and the leading cause of death amongst Australian women aged between 15 and 44. The project will review a decade of intimate partner homicides in Australia to identify points of intervention that might have prevented killings. This knowledge is intended to inform and help develop a more risk-sensitive preventive approach to intimate partner homicides in Australia and overseas, enhancing women’s security and preventing their deaths.Read moreRead less
Adolescents becoming delinquent online. The project aims to provide a longitudinal criminological study of adolescent Internet use in the world. The Internet is a pervasive influence in young people's lives and is increasingly viewed as a significant factor in the incidence of criminal activities including cyber-bullying, computer hacking and radicalisation. Using survey and interview methods over four years, the project will study how adolescents use the Internet daily, and particularly how thi ....Adolescents becoming delinquent online. The project aims to provide a longitudinal criminological study of adolescent Internet use in the world. The Internet is a pervasive influence in young people's lives and is increasingly viewed as a significant factor in the incidence of criminal activities including cyber-bullying, computer hacking and radicalisation. Using survey and interview methods over four years, the project will study how adolescents use the Internet daily, and particularly how this may enable or encourage delinquency on and off-line. This project is expected to benefit national security, law enforcement and crime prevention and enhance public safety and social cohesion.Read moreRead less
Analysing interactions within the criminal deportation system. This project aims to investigate the convergence of migration control and criminal justice by analysing pathways to criminal deportation. The project expects to generate new criminological understandings of deportation as a means of promoting community safety using interdisciplinary approaches that capture regional and metropolitan practice. Expected outcomes include knowledge of how information flows between migration control and cr ....Analysing interactions within the criminal deportation system. This project aims to investigate the convergence of migration control and criminal justice by analysing pathways to criminal deportation. The project expects to generate new criminological understandings of deportation as a means of promoting community safety using interdisciplinary approaches that capture regional and metropolitan practice. Expected outcomes include knowledge of how information flows between migration control and criminal justice agencies, and the implications for policing, courts, and prison administration. This should provide significant benefits for policy-makers and practitioners, by articulating emerging and unexplored practices that have major consequences for community safety, social cohesion and the rule-of-law.Read moreRead less
