Successful Strategies to Improve Access to Justice for Women Who Kill Their Abusers<\/strong><\/p>\n

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 \u00a0inspired by a successful international workshop held in February 2023 (Successful Strategies for Improving Access to Justice for Women Who Kill Their Abusers<\/em>).<\/p>\n

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, M\u0101ori health and Indigenous studies and education), to share insights about their efforts to improve legal understandings of women\u2019s experiences of intimate partner violence (IPV), their use of fatal force against an abusive partner and their self-defence claims.<\/p>\n

The continued prosecutions of women for killing their violent partner in the context of extensive prior abuse, and the continuing choice of women to plead guilty to manslaughter rather than risk arguing self-defence, demonstrates a lack of real progress in our laws and our courts. This special issue grapples with the practicalities and politics of achieving change. The guest editors hope it points 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.<\/p>\n
