• Special Issue: Successful Strategies to Improve Access to Justice for Women Who Kill Their Abusers

  2024-12-02

  Guest editors Danielle Tyson (Deakin University), Bronwyn Naylor (RMIT University) and Stella Tarrant (The University of Western Australia) have curated a special issue that was  inspired by a successful international workshop held in 2023 (Successful Strategies for Improving Access to Justice for Women Who Kill Their Abusers).

  The international workshop drew together practitioners (practising lawyers, family violence experts, psych- experts) and researchers from a range of international jurisdictions (England, Scotland, New Zealand, Canada, United States, Germany and Australia) and disciplines (criminology, law, socio-legal studies, gender studies, Māori health and Indigenous studies and education), to share insights about their efforts to improve legal understandings of women’s experiences of intimate partner violence (IPV), their use of fatal force against an abusive partner and their self-defence claims.

  The guest editors hope this collection of articles point to some innovative and effective strategies for improving access to justice for women who have used force to protect themselves and often their children from further victimisation.
