Introducing a new member of the Deakin Criminology team: Emma Russell
We are delighted to introduce the latest addition to Deakin criminology, Dr Emma Russell.

Broadly she researches in the areas of sexuality, gender and criminal justice; imprisonment and penal reform; and protest movements. She has published in Theoretical Criminology, Australian Feminist Law Journal and Crime, Media, Culture among others. She is currently working on a book with Dr. Bree Carlton about penal change in the women’s prison system in Victoria in the historical context of feminist anti-prison resistance.
Since 2011 Emma has volunteered and worked with Flat Out, a state-wide support and advocacy organisation for criminalised women. In 2014-2015 she was a Co-Coordinator of the Centre for the Human Rights of Imprisoned People run out of Flat Out.
