Background
Jennifer Lavoie is a Chancellor’s Fellow in the Moray House School of Education and Sport at the University of Edinburgh. Her research focuses on children’s interactions with the legal system as a means for ending violence against children. Broadly, she looks at children's experiences of justice after maltreatment or violence (e.g., through a Barnaus/Children's Advocacy Centre), children's perceptions of justice, and children's forensic disclosures of violence (e.g, maltreatment and commercial sexual exploitation). Jennifer completed a Fulbright visiting research exchange (2017/18) at the University of California, Irvine, and a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Cambridge (2018/20).
