Andrea Josipovic

Andrea Josipovic serves as an Adjunct Research Fellow at the University of Queensland's School of Nursing, Midwifery and Social Work, contributing to interdisciplinary research at the intersection of criminology, gender studies, and social work practice.

Her research specializes in:

• Child Sexual Abuse
• Gender-Based Violence
• Feminist Criminology
• Private Sphere Dynamics
• Child Protection Systems
• Social Work Interventions

Her seminal 2015 publication analyzes how domestic spaces ('the private sphere') facilitate concealment of child sexual abuse by female perpetrators, revealing critical gaps in gender-neutral criminological frameworks. This work pioneers feminist approaches to understanding female-perpetrated abuse within household contexts, challenging traditional victim-perpetrator binaries in child protection discourse.
