Community Attitudes to Defences in Cases of Homicide & Assault in Queensland - Survey Findings

When is it ok to defend yourself using violence? Is it ok to respond violently when provoked? We asked leading academics from the Australian National University (ANU) to conduct an independent study to help us understand community attitudes. They surveyed 2500 Queenslanders and held focus groups with 58 members of the Queensland community.
On 2 December 2024, we hosted the Community Attitudes to Defences in Cases of Homicide and Assault in Queensland - Survey Findings Webinar where the ANU research team shared their findings. This webinar is hosted by our Deputy Chair, Judge Anthony Rafter SC.
