V.1. Thesis - Community's attitudes towards intimate partner homicide : applicability of legal reform -- v.2. Professional portfolio - The role of child's wishes in assessing the "best interests" of the child |
| Summary |
The thesis aimed to explore the Victorian Community's attitudes towards intimate partner homicide committed in the context of jealousy and domestic violence. Results revealed that the immediacy of the accused's actions, the gender of the accused, and the gender of the participant interacted to influence participants' verdict and blame responses. The portfolio explored the complexities and challenges that face mental health professionals in deciding the appropriate weighting of child's wishes in child protection assessments. The four case studies presented were chosen due to the attention that was paid to the child's wishes throughout the assessments |
