Writing by Joanne Roulston

 I write about family law, coercive control, social policy, and state power.

My work draws on legal practice, lived experience, and public systems.

 My Substack is where I publish ongoing work on coercive control, family violence, and social policy. 

I publish several times a month, developing analysis and practical frameworks for legal and community professionals.

 A framework for identifying patterns that signal lethal risk in intimate partner violence, based on Ontario Coroner’s Domestic Violence Death Review Committee findings.

 My work has appeared in Honest Ulsterman, a leading Irish literary journal, reflecting my work at the intersection of law, experience, and cultural memory.

 I will be presenting on coercive control and program design for the prevention of family violence.
