Dr Danielle Tyson is Associate Professor in Criminology in the School of Social Sciences at Deakin University. Danielle is recognised for her work on the intersections of gender based violence and legal responses to domestic abuse and intimate partner homicide; the impacts of criminal law reform in Australian jurisdictions, and social and legal responses to men and women who kill their children (also referred to as filicide). Her research is centred on empirical qualitative mixed-methods projects that deliver outcomes that have impact outside academia and that assist the communities we serve. She has collaborated with and/or presented the findings of her research to the legal profession, NGOs, community legal centres and government, delivering a framework to improve legal policy and social justice outcomes.
