Her work in gendered violence focuses on how gender impacts on the operation of criminal justice and security. JaneMaree’s key interests are in family violence and gendered patterns. JaneMaree’s family work critically examines the interactions of families and societies, with an emphasis on how neo-liberal discourses of health and consumption impact on family relationships.
