Professor Dawson
teaches in the areas of violence and society, crime and criminal
justice, and social deviance. Her research interests focus on social
and legal responses to violent victimization, including the effects
of intimacy and gender on criminal justice decision-making. She is
co-author of Woman Killing: Intimate Femicide in Ontario,
1991-1994 and has published in Law and Society Review,
The British Journal of Criminology, Social Problems,
Justice Quarterly, Resources for Feminist Research and
Homicide Studies. Her current research projects examine (1) The
implementation of specialized or 'problem-solving' courts and how
they are transforming the way legal and victim service professionals
'do justice' in Canada; (2) How three decades of legal and social
change in Canadian society may be contributing to changing patterns
in violent victimization; and (3) How the 'insane' violent offender
has been constructed over time, including who successfully uses the
legal defence 'not criminally responsible by reason of mental
disorder.'
