A 66-year-old Woman from Victoria, Australia

In this interview, I talk to a 66-year-old woman from Victoria, Australia. Like several of the other folks I interviewed in 2023, her primary career was as a law professor before she retired in 2024. Unlike some of the others I interviewed, however, this woman had a very positive experience with religion as a child, and attributes her experiences in her church, along with her parents, and her education, as instilling her with values involving giving back to others, tolerance, and love – values that have stayed with her throughout her life. She has devoted her professional life to studying criminal law systems internationally, examining prison systems, violence against women and children, and human rights.
