Handbook

This subject analyses and critiques new, innovative approaches to crime, victimisation and social harm. Particular attention will be given to how these innovative approaches are being used to enhance the effectiveness of the formal justice system, and communities, in dealing with significant issues, such as domestic and sexual victimisation and offending, justice reinvestment and Indigenous over-representation in settler-colonial contexts. Prospective students should note that the course covers content relating to sexual violence, domestic and family violence, child sexual abuse, colonial and state-perpetrated violence, and armed-conflict related violence. Content warnings will be included across the course, appropriate support resources will be made available, and students should exercise self-care when enrolling in this subject.
