Barton, A.M. (2017).
It's the same old story: Rape representation in New Zealand newspapers (1975 - 2015)
.
MA thesis, Victoria University of Wellington.
Summary
: Newspaper reporting of rape, and in particular, representations of women as rape victims, have historically been presented by the media in a misinformed manner, influenced by myths and misconceptions about the dynamics of sexual violence. Previous research has shown media depictions can promote victim-blaming attitudes which affect society's understanding toward sexual violence, promoting false narratives and rape-supportive beliefs...

Beaumont, S. (2017).
Look at her: Analysing the depiction of women on the covers of women's magazines from 1975-2015.
MA thesis, Victoria University of Wellington.
Summary: Women's magazines have a role in constructing and defining what it means to be a woman. Deciphering messages in mediums specifically designed for women is therefore key to understanding what women may be learning about femininity. This thesis examines the depiction of women in women's magazines, focussing on sexualisation and the portrayal of traditional gender roles... Read more
Haenga-Collins, Maria (2017).

PhD thesis, Australian National University.
Summary: This thesis is based on the oral histories of social workers, birth parents, and adopted people who have personal experience of 'closed stranger adoption' in relation to New Zealand Māori. Viewed collectively their histories, and the author's own analysis, demonstrate the legislative sleight of hand and societal illusions, which bound all parties involved in an uncomfortable and contrived silence... Read more
McDonald, H.L. (2017).
Rape crisis services 'Standing Alone'. Policy-making as problem representation: The response to sexual violence in New Zealand 1983-89.
MA thesis, Victoria University of Wellington.
Summary: After more than 30 years of feminist activism in New Zealand the government policy response to sexual violence continues to be highly contested. This thesis draws on archival material (both official and community records) to trace the competing discourses and agendas within the early policy development process. This process involved the pākehā and Māori women's rights movements seeking to influence the ways in which the problem of rape was represented and responded to by government within the social policy context...

Indigenous (Māori) sexual health psychologies in New Zealand: Delivering culturally congruent sexuality education.
Journal of Health Psychology, Advance online publication, 13 December 2017
Summary: Indigenous (Māori) psychologies of sexual health occur at the cultural nexus of Indigenous and Western knowledge, colonising influence and intervention. Formal school-based sexuality education holds potential to intervene in this psychological space by decolonising notions of Māori sexuality, relationships and reproduction. This research utilises an Indigenous feminist (Mana Wāhine) methodology... Read more

Coercive control: To criminalize or not to criminalize?
Criminology & Criminal Justice, Advance online publication, 12 December 2017
Summary: Criminalizing coercive or controlling behaviour in an intimate relationship, as has been done in England and Wales and is proposed in Scotland, has the advantage of offering an offence structure to match the operation and wrong of intimate partner violence. This article raises the question as to whether other jurisdictions should follow suit... Read more
Fisher, R., & Hutton-Baas, T. (2017).
Supporting grandparent/grandchild contact under the Care of Children Act 2004: An assessment of current options, and a call for change.
Aotearoa New Zealand Social Work, 29(3): 30-41
Summary: The Care of Children Act 2004 reformed the law of child guardianship in Aotearoa New Zealand.

Napia, T. (2017).
Kei hea ngā wāhine toa? Challenges for women and tikanga Māori.
New Zealand Women's Law Journal - Te Aho Kawe Kaupapa Ture a ngā Wāhine, 1: 32-50
Summary: Where are the wāhine toa? - strong women who fight in the face of immense societal challenges? Are women's roles in a tikanga Māori framework still becoming of strong women?

It argues that traditionally tikanga demonstrated value and respect for women... Read more

hange 'a e tangata, ha fala oku lālanga: Pacific people and non-violence programmes under the Domestic Violence (Amendment) Act 2013.
New Zealand Women's Law Journal - Te Aho Kawe Kaupapa Ture a ngā Wāhine, 1: 182-191

Harmful Digital Communications Act 2015.
New Zealand Women's Law Journal - Te Aho Kawe Kaupapa Ture a ngā Wāhine, 1: 208-214
Summary: The Harmful Digital Communications Act 2015 (HDCA) is a modern enactment for a modern problem. The title of the Act is in some ways self explanatory: the purpose of the HDCA is to "deter, prevent, and mitigate harm caused to individuals by harmful digital communications" and to "provide victims of harmful digital communications with a quick and efficient means of redress"... Read more
Polaschek, R. (2017).
Power plays: The meaning of genuine consent in S (CA338/2016) v R. Case note.
New Zealand Women's Law Journal - Te Aho Kawe Kaupapa Ture a ngā Wāhine, 1: 226-233
Summary: In the abstract, consent is straightforward: a person either has, or has not agreed to an action. In practice, the question of whether a person has agreed, and what is sufficient for genuine agreement to an action, is complicated by a number of factors, which can include the nature of the relationship between the relevant parties. When will, and should, the law intervene and determine that purported consent is insufficient to be 'true' consent?... Read more

What works evidence review: Social norms and violence against women and girls.
What Works to Prevent Violence Against Women and Girls Evidence Review, September 2017
Summary: Violence against women and girls (VAWG) is a pervasive social problem across the globe, but varies in prevalence and severity. The 2013 mapping of the Global Burden of Disease showed the prevalence of physical and sexual VAWG differed between countries, and between ethnic groups and social classes within countries. Two central, and overlapping, sets of ideas and practices driving VAWG are those related to gender relations and those on the use of violence. The term social norms essentially captures how a community or social group normally 'does' gender or uses violence... Read more

Bruton, C., & Tyson, D. (2017).
Leaving violent men: A study of women's experiences of separation in Victoria, Australia.
Australian & New Zealand Journal of Criminology, Advance online publication, 7 December 2017
Summary: Despite decades of feminist efforts to educate the community about, and improve responses to, domestic violence, public attitudes towards domestic violence continue to misunderstand women's experiences of violence. Underlying such responses is the stock standard question, 'Why doesn't she leave?' This question points to a lack of understanding about the impacts and threat of violence from an abusive partner on women's decisions to leave the relationship. Moreover, it places sole responsibility for ending the relationship squarely upon women... Read more
Donovan, C., Griffiths, S. (2015).
Domestic violence and voluntary perpetrator programmes: Engaging men in the pre-commencement phase.
British Journal of Social Work, 45(4): 1155-1171
Summary: In a longitudinal evaluation of two multi-agency Projects providing holistic, early intervention to victim/survivors of domestic violence, their children and perpetrators, the voluntary perpetrator programmes (VPPs) were the least successful aspect of the initiatives. This article explores why there were relatively low numbers of abusive partners self-referring and/or being referred into programmes and high drop-out rates in the pre-commencement phase... Read more
Grant, I., & Benedet, J. (2016).
The sexual assault of older women: Criminal justice response in Canada.
McGill Law Journal, 62(1): 41-78
Summary: This article examines sexual violence against older women, a problem that has been largely hidden from view in the societal and legal discussion of sexual assault.

Kim, M.E. (2013).
Challenging the pursuit of criminalisation in an era of mass incarceration: The limitations of social work responses to domestic violence in the USA.
British Journal of Social Work, 43(7): 1276-1293
Summary: This article critically reflects upon the social work field engaging the issue of domestic violence and its relationship to the criminal legal system in the USA. The historical trajectory of the contemporary battered women's movement beginning in the 1970s parallels the rise of criminalisation and mass incarceration particularly impacting marginalised racial communities. In the USA, the passage of the Violence against Women Act (VAWA) in 1994 as a part of the Crime Bill symbolises the convergence of historical forces contributing to the growing collaboration between the feminist movement, social work engagement with gender-based violence and the carceral state...

Campus sexual assault: Future directions for research.
Sexual Abuse: A Journal of Research and Treatment, Advance online publication, 10 January 2018

Because the changes on campuses have occurred at such a rapid pace, a number of gaps exist within the field of CSA research... Read more
