Regulating Relationships: Violence and Intimacy

The course will provide students with a strong grounding in ethical, doctrinal, and practical approaches to how the law regulates relationships, with a particular focus on issues relating to intimacy and violence. Students will gain knowledge of debates and issues in relation to domestic abuse, obstetric violence, child abuse, and emerging forms of intimate abuse such as elder abuse and parental abuse. Students will also develop an understanding of how the law regulates adult-child and adult-adult relationships, including caring relationships, and how the law manages relationship breakdown.

Assessment is by way of a submission.
