- 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
- The law enforcement response to domestic violence has changed dramatically in the last two decades. The most recent changes came about in the wake of community policing and its core elements: partnership and problem solving. This article traces the impact of these community policing values on the formations and operation of a domestic violence reduction programm in Portland, Oregon. The differences between the police response to domestic violence in the context of traditional policing versus community policing are highlighted. Particular attention is given to the role of research in police policy formation when community policing principles are implemented.

- 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.
