Research expertise
For nearly 30 years, Professor Kathleen Daly has been conducting research in the fields of sociology, criminology and criminal justice, women’s studies, and law, with interests in how social inequalities affect crime, victimisation, and justice practices. In the last decade, she has focused her research on restorative and Indigenous justice, and the appropriateness of “new” justice practices for domestic, sexual, and family violence. Using qualitative and quantitative methods, Professor Daly is interested in addressing the moral and political questions about the character and qualities of justice, and the meaning of justice from the perspective of both victims and offenders. She has authored or co-authored a career total of 6 books or edited collections and over 60 journal articles and book chapters.
