Danielle Tyson's book Sex, Culpability and the Defence of Provocation is receiving a large amount of press attention in Australia with recent articles in The Age, Lawyers Weekly and the Herald Sun. An examination of murder trial transcripts has shown that defense lawyers still use the idea that slain women provoked their own killing. This is despite the passing of legislation in 2005 banning provocation as a defense. Addressing the trajectory of debates about reform of the provocation defense across different jurisdictions, Sex, Culpability and the Defence of Provocation considers the construction and representation of subjectivity and sexual difference in legal narrations of intimate partner homicide.

The BBC News website reports today that The Child Exploitation and Online Protection (Ceop) center wants police to prioritize those caught downloading child abuse images, who have access to children. According to the report, the images being downloaded are becoming more extreme. This report follows on the heels of a report to MPs that highlighted how child sex abuse was taking place all over the UK. For her recent book, Online Child Sexual Abuse: Grooming, Policing and Protection in a Multi-Media World, Elena Martellozzo conducted extensive research with the police and a specialist paedophile unit. The book adds significantly to our understanding of this problem, and examines how it is policed currently, and how it might be policed in the future.
