Research Overview

Associate Professor Quilter specialises in research and teaching on criminal law and criminal justice policy and reform, employing multi-disciplinary theoretical, doctrinal and empirical methods. Recent projects have examined criminal law responses to alcohol-related violence and ‘one punch’ fatalities and sexual assault, and the operation of public order laws and local council rules regulating the use of public space. She is currently leading an interdisciplinary research project, funded by the Australian Institute of Criminology’s Criminology Research Grants Program, which examines Australian criminal laws’ treatment of intoxication, and she is part of a team of researchers undertaking a major national study of criminalisation – the deployment of criminal punishment and police powers as public policy tools in response to a diverse range of identified harms and risks.
