About

Madeline Lee is a PhD Candidate with the Sexual Violence Research and Prevention Unit at the University of the Sunshine Coast, specialising in sexual violence against older adults. Her research focuses on how environmental criminology perspectives can inform prevention and response efforts, with a particular focus on the situational dynamics of these offences. Through exploration of the opportunity structures that enable sexual offending against older people, Madeline’s research aims to bridge critical knowledge gaps around how these crimes unfold to identify possible avenues for proactive, evidence-based prevention.
