Associate Professor Danielle Tyson is Associate Professor in Criminology in the School of Social Sciences at Deakin University and a graduate of La Trobe University, Victoria, Australia (BA, Hons in Legal Studies) and the University of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia (PhD in Criminology). Prior to Deakin, she taught at Criminology at Monash University (2007 – 2016), the University of Brighton, England (2002-2003), and the University of Melbourne (2004 – 2006) and La Trobe University, Victoria, Australia (2007). She has published and presented papers at conferences nationally and overseas on the intersection of gender based violence and the legal system; domestic homicide; homicide law reform; and filicide (the killing of children by a parent or caregiver). In 2010, she was a visiting scholar at the Centre for the Study of Social and Legal Responses to Violence (#csslrv) at the University of Guelph, Ontario, Canada (go to: www.violenceresearch.ca).

Danielle focuses on gender-based violence, intimate partner homicide, filicide, homicide defences, and law reform. Her victim-centred, interdisciplinary research forges vital collaborations with key stakeholders to provide impactful, evidence-based insights that shape legal policy and benefit the broader community.

Dr Tyson is Co-Director of the Monash Deakin Universities Filicide Research Hub and Co-Founder and Member of the Deakin Network Against Gendered Violence. She is also Co-Facilitator of the bi-annual international conference series Addressing Filicide (previously held at the Monash Prato Centre, Italy, in 2013, 2015, 2017 and in 2019, the Addressing Filicide conference was held at Deakin University Downtown in the heart of Melbourne, Australia for the first time.

Current projects:

Successful Strategies for Improving Access to Justice for Women Who Kill Their Abusers, with Professor Bronwyn Naylor OAM (Graduate School of Business and Law, RMIT) and Associate Professor Stella Tarrant (School of Law, University of Western Australia). In February 2023, the research team received funding from the 2023 Academy of Social Sciences Australia (ASSA) to host an international workshop at Deakin Downtown (and online). The workshop drew together practitioners (practising lawyers, family violence experts, psychologists and psychiatrists) and researchers from a range of disciplines nationally and internationally including criminology, law, socio-legal studies, gender studies, Māori health and Indigenous studies and education, in order to identify a diverse range of strategies aimed at improving access to justice for women who use fatal force against their abusive partners.
Improving Legal Responses to Intimate Partner Homicide, 2005 – 2023, with Professor Bronwyn Naylor OAM (Graduate School of Business and Law, RMIT). This research examines the use of family violence evidence / social framework evidence in the prosecutions of men and women who kill an intimate partner in Australia.
Filicide: An exploration of the vulnerability of victims, risk factors and the circumstances of child deaths in Victoria, 2009 – 2020, The Monash-Deakin Filicide Research Hub (Professor Thea Brown, Dr Paula Fernandez Arias, Social Work, Monash University and Associate Professor Danielle Tyson, Deakin University), in collaboration with Lauren Bedggood, Phoebe Marshall and Heba Nassar from the Victorian Systemic Review of Family Violence Deaths (VSRFVD) at the Coroners Court of Victoria, has commenced a new study on filicide in Victoria. The study will examine issues of victim vulnerability, risk factors associated with perpetrators and the role of helping services and their relationship to perpetrators and victims’ families and in developing strategies for intervention and prevention.
