Volume 14, Issue 3 publishes a diverse mix of criminology research from the UK, Canada, the US, South Africa, Australia, Aotearoa NZ, Italy, Zimbabwe and India.

Included in this issue: Juneseo Hwang provides a political economic analysis of the Mobuoy illegal dump in Northern Island. Mark Wood and colleagues discuss the findings from a survey-based questionnaire investigating the prevalence and predictors of student disclosures of crime, violence, and trauma to criminology educators working at Australian and Aotearoa New Zealand universities.

Melissa Gampe, Samantha Jeffries and Zoe Rathus utilise the voices of Australian same-gender attracted women who experienced IPV in intimate relationships with other women. While Emma Louise Backe, Kelley Moult and Jessie Waldman explore the disparate and idiosyncratic implementation of the protection order (PO) process at magistrates’ courts in South Africa’s Western Cape.

Sexual violence is the topic of several articles in this issue: Njabulo Ncube and Rika Snyman discuss the problematic non-reporting of rape in the Lupane rural district of Zimbabwe, while  Paribhasha Sharma and Gemma Hamilton share research which sheds light on the unique cultural context of policing rape in metropolitan India.
