- Description
- In this issue on victimization among the family and its direct relations a report of a nation-wide study on domestic violence in the Netherlands. The cooperation of battered women as victims and witnesses is analyzed by examining experiences, opinions and perceptions of experts who deal most closely with batterd women in the United States. Female abusers of children are discussed and the way in which such cases are processed by the criminal justice system. 76 Cases of intimate femicide (killing of women by their intimate male partners) in Israel during 1990 and 1995 are investigated. The findings are put in a theoretical framework which assumes that violence in society will be positively related to stress factors and negatively related to support systems. Also the effects of and the victimization history of women in England and Wales on the likelihood of them receiving at least one obscene or nuisance phone call is being described.

- Description
- This case note considers the availability in the U.K. of the provocation defence in cases of intimate homicide in the context of the recent House of Lords decision in R v. Smith [2000] 3 W.L.R. 654. The note argues that the expansion of the objective component of the defence to encompass the mental infirmities of individual defendants is dangerous for women. Although it has the potential to help some abused women who kill to use the defence, it has, at the same time, exposed women who are abused by sexually possessive, violent men to even greater danger. It is thus argued that the defence should be restricted in the way envisaged by the minority judgement of Lord Millett so that abused women will still be able to use the defence, but by a non-medical route. Alternatively, the defence should be abolished and defences which pose no risk of encompassing violent men should be developed to accommodate abused women.

- 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.

- Evaluatiestudie naar het beleid van de politie van Humberside in het Verenigd Koninkrijk. De nationale richtlijnen inzake gezinsgeweld konden onvoldoende vertaald worden naar het lokale niveau. Veel agenten rapporteerden de gebeurtenissen niet als zijnde misdrijven, maar als 'slechts gezinsproblemen'.

- Description
- Drawing on international evaluations and a recent study conducted in Scotland this article examines whether legislation in the form of civil protection orders has the effect of curtailing the actions of abusers and if not, what occurs when the traditional criminal justice response comes into play. The strengths of civil protection orders and some explanations for the weaknesses of these orders are considered alongside the question of whether there is any value in women continuing to engage with the law in response to domestic abuse.

- 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.
