Young people bereaved by domestic homicide

对于因家庭杀人而失去亲人的儿童的未来，包括他们应该住在哪里以及他们是否应该与肇事者接触，做出了影响深远的决定。从业者和政策制定者缺乏经验和理论投入来指导这些决策。该奖学金借鉴了年轻人、照顾者和专业人士对杀人案后儿童的生活安排、关系和身份发展的看法。它期望为政策制定者和实践者提供一个儿童成果的理论模型和可操作的建议。主要的好处将是加强在澳大利亚和国外国内杀人案件背景下支持儿童、家庭和专业人员的能力。

Far-reaching decisions are made about the future of a child bereaved by domestic homicide, including where they should live and whether they should have contact with the perpetrator. Practitioners and policymakers lack empirical and theoretical input to guide these decisions. This fellowship draws upon young people's, caregivers' and professionals' perspectives on children's living arrangements, relationships and identity development post-homicide. It expects to generate a theoretical model of children's outcomes as well as actionable advice for policymakers and practitioners. The main benefit will be enhanced capacity to support children, families and professionals in the context of domestic homicide in Australia and abroad.
