She has worked at the Monash Deakin Filicide research Hub, which centres around searching for solutions and patterns around why parents kill children. The goal is to find patterns or behaviours that may enable prevention programs, and her research has uncovered many patterns around situations, familial and social, that lead to a higher likelihood of filicide and family violence[1]. Brown has been on Commonwealth and state committees around the policy of social work, including family violence, filicide and family breakdown.[2]
