Expertise

Nicole’s research interests and expertise primarily relate to the experiences of interpersonal violence. Using critical and poststructuralist criminological and sociological theories, Nicole seeks to explore the experience of victimisation, and the strategies required to ameliorate the damage of victimisation. In collaboration with Dr Isabelle Bartkowiak-Théron, she has developed a theoretically rich and applied model of addressing the vulnerability that arises in police encounters, which has been adopted in various policing organisations in Australia and the UK. Nicole and Isabelle have published widely on this topic, including their recent authored book, Policing Practices and Vulnerable People (2021, Palgrave).

Nicole has over 30 years’ experience advocating on behalf of victims, and investigating the lived experience of violence, including hate motivated, domestic, family and intimate-partner, honour-based, and sexual violence, vilification, and discrimination. Much of this work has been done in collaboration with non-government organisations and support services, as well as policing organisations. Recently, Nicole has undertaken a pilot ethnographic study into the work of rural, remote, and regional policing in Tasmania, which she hopes to expand in the coming years. This work has been critical in the development of her theoretical work on propinquity and policing, which aims to provide a roadmap out of many of the “wicked problems” encountered by police.

Research Themes

Nicole’s research aligns to the University’s research theme of Better Health. In particular, her work focuses on the intersections between law enforcement and public health. Her work on ameliorating the iatrogenic harms of policing, along with devising strategies to support vulnerable people as they traverse the criminal justice system, necessarily requires a transdisciplinary approach that draws on the preventative frameworks of public health.

Collaboration

Nicole is currently collaborating with Australian, UK, and US colleagues across a range of topics. In partnership with Tasmania Police, she has undertaken the first stage of ethnographic research into rural, remote and regional policing in Australia. In conjunction with scholars at nine Australian universities, she will be undertaking a national study of ableism in academia. With colleagues at the UniMelb, RMIT, UTas, and in collaboration with ACON, Nicole is conducting a study into NSW LGBTQ+ people’s experiences of sexual violence. With colleagues at QUT and the University of Houston, she is undertaking a critical discourse analysis of Trump’s campaign speeches to reveal the textual-verbal hostility that underpins his communication. Nicole is also a CI on a longitudinal study into the sexual health and attitudes of Australian prisoners, which is led by colleagues at UNSW. With colleagues at the Western Sydney University, CSU and University of South Australia, Nicole will be expanding the pilot study into attacks against Australian mosques. With colleagues at UTas, ANU, and the University of Rhode Island, she is investigating how neurodiversity impacts on experiences of policing.

Publications

Nicole has published widely in both academic and practitioner fora. In particular, her decade-long collaboration with Dr Isabelle Bartkowiak-Théron has generated a range of research, report, and policy outputs that continue to influence policing policies and practices in relation to working with vulnerable people. While she enjoys writing for practitioner audiences (such as the large research reports completed for Tasmania Police and the London Metropolitan Police), it is her theoretical work on vulnerability, “crip” studies, hate, and propinquity that motivates her to explore new areas of interpersonal violence.

Grants & Funding

Nicole has received funding support for many of her past and current projects, including most recently, contracted research on LGBTQ+ People’s Experiences of Sexual Violence (with ACON) and the Evaluation of the Alcohol, Tobacco and other Drugs Council Tasmania’s Consumer Engagement Strategy. She is a member of the interdisciplinary team conducting the Sexual Health and Attitudes of Australian Prisoners study, which received an NHMRC grant of $1.6m to conduct a 10-year follow-up investigation of prisoners’ experiences. In conjunction with colleagues in CALE, she has also been successful in gaining seed and pilot funding to initiate studies into LGBTIQ family exile, and the role of flexi-schools in LGBTIQ students’ pathways.

Projects

ARCDW Scholarship Disability and Criminal Justice (2022 - 2025)$54,123

Description: Provisions of support for people with disability in early interactions with the criminal justice system: Benefits, challenges, and opportunities for changeInteractions with the criminal justice system are often stressful, and this stress can be compounded when a person has a disability that may affect their capacity to self-advocate for their rights and to be aware of the potential consequences of such interactions. For example, the caution about detainee rights given by police is complex in meaning and often delivered at rapid pace in difficult circumstances. A person with a disability that affects comprehension may agree to be questioned under caution without fully understanding the consequences, resulting in an erosion of their rights. Given the over-representation of people with disability in correctional facilities (which is over 80%), investigation into how people can be better supported in interactions with police and the wider criminal justice system is warranted.This project will explore the experiences of people with a disability at various stages of the policing process, and assess the suitability of that process to uphold the rights of people with disability to make informed decisions. The project will aim to develop and test possible alternatives to complex policing processes (such as the police caution), and consider what, if any, additional support is required to raise rights awareness, including the right to self-advocacy.

Relationships Between LGBTIQ Tasmanians and Tasmania Police (2017 - 2019)$19,943

Description: Tasmania Police developed an LGBTI police liaison program to build relationships with LGBTIQ Tasmanian's in recent years, and have invested substantially in creating a tertiary level pathway to professionalise their personnel from police recruits all the way through to Assistant Commissioners and Inspectors. As yet, we have only limited, anecdotal evidence elaborating how these types of investments have improved the relationship between LGBTIQ Tasmanians and Tasmania Police. This research seeks to document this landscape using survey and follow up interviews with LGBTIQ Tasmanians and Tasmania Police officers
