Evelyn Rose
I am a feminist criminologist whose research focusses on intimate partner, domestic, and family, and other gendered violence. I gained my doctoral and honours degrees in interdisciplinary criminology from the School of Social and Political Sciences at the University of Melbourne. My primary work to date examined the role of structures, institutions, and states in family violence. In various other research projects, I have engaged with issues including human rights, sexual violence, child abuse, feminist theory, conflict, genocide, trauma and atrocity and transitional justice, and representation through documentary film and television. I have also worked at the intersection of academia and industry and produced an extensive report for the Federation of Community Legal Centres which made recommendations for enhancing family violence-related policy responses and service delivery. My work consistently fosters engagement and partnerships across the academic, practitioner and community sectors.

institutional elements, it continues to be treated as a problem of violent individuals. In this article, I challenge existing conceptual frameworks by proposing that intimate partner violence (IPV) against women by men be conceptualised within international law as a crime against humanity and a state crime. I explain the suitability of this framework by showing that IPV can be understood as the systematic perpetration of grave harms against a particular social group, within the context of state and institutional policy, practice and ideology that institutes, authorises, endorses, and is therefore complicit, in the harm. I also suggest that IPV can be understood as a
state crime because the state perpetrates the structural violence which directly underpins IPV, and because male perpetrators can be understood as proxy agents of the patriarchal state. I suggest that this original way of understanding IPV could enhance its international recognition, illuminate multiple layers of liability for the harm, and prompt more holistic responses to the problem, some of which are outlined in the final section of this article.
