Justice Responses to Difference | Federation University

CRJUS3303 Justice Responses to Difference

The unit explores justice responses with First Nations peoples, people with disabilities, women and the LGBTQI community within the justice system. The unit provides a contextual and theoretical overview of the historical origins and development of the justice system and how these origins have informed the justice system response to difference. The concept of justice, access to justice and the implications of differential response will also be explored. Contemporary and innovative state, national and international initiatives to address difference will be examined. The unit will draw on case studies from law, policy and programmatic reform to better understand the challenges for justice agencies to ensure an accessible and equitable justice response in a diverse society.

2026 contribution amount* $2,175
2026 grandfathered contribution amount^ $997

^ If you are a continuing student who commenced your course before 1 January 2021, you will continue paying the same amount as you would have, had legislative reforms not been implemented, for any units that would otherwise have an increased student contribution amount.

* For Psychology and Social Work bands the unit fee amount is determined by accredited courses. Students in Postgraduate Clinical Psychology, Professional Pathway Psychology or Professional Pathway Social Work accredited courses should refer to the information below.
