- Description
- This note analyses the decision of the House of Lords in Fitzpatrick, which held that gay partners could fall within the legal definition of 'family' for some purposes. The note argues that despite the real (if overstated) benefits that this case bestows on gay partners in the form of legal rights, under analysis, the decision self-deconstructs to reveal that it is grounded on the principle of discrimination on the basis of sexuality. However, it is also suggested that the encounter between discursive legal reasoning (underpinned by normative heterosexuality), and a version of the family which is 'other' to this discourse, is one which leaves its mark on law, as the potential undermining or deconstruction of law's normative assumptions. The note further argues that although this decision is properly seen as a moment in the struggle for gay rights, it also serves as a reminder that the fortunes of critical theories and political movements that seek to challenge the legal paradigm of the white, heterosexual male are inextricably linked. Fitzpatrick, whatever else it is, is also an object lesson in the debt that current campaigns for gay legal rights owe to feminist critiques of, and campaigns that have successfully challenged, the role of this norm in legal discourse.

- Description
- In England and Wales two women are killed every week by a current or former partner. One women in four is physically abused during her lifetime. The 2004 Domestic Violence Crime and Victims Act has made a new offence of familial homicide, and the Act is designed to cover all violent home incidents, especially if they involve children or vulnerable adults. Programmes for perpetrators which adress violent behaviour and seek to change it are proving invaluable. The focus is also on another issue affecting families, women offenders. New initiative and cash have been made available to stop the cycle of reoffending, with the Home Office's Women's Offending Reduction Programme playing a key role.

- Description
- Although domestic violence is now a recognised problem amongst the Asian community living in Britain, as it is among other groups, there is some lack of understanding on the part of the relevant statutory and voluntary agencies about the specific cultural concerns surrounding the issue. This has resulted in an inadequate service being offered to Asian women experiencing domestic violence. This was a small scale exploratory study drawing on the experience of only 14 Pakistani women who had suffered domestic violence. Although the findings highlight particular cultural difficulties faced by these women, it is not possible to generalise from a sample of this size and the research was concerned only with the nature of the problem, not its extent.
