The effects of intimate partner violence are attenuating and extend far beyond physical scarring. The abuse of woman and children has been researched extensively by Rachel Pain (2014, p. 536) as acts of “terrorism within the home”. If we are to compare the experience of women and children living in violent homes and the act of ‘terrorism’ itself we get a corresponding experience (Pain, 2014, p. 546). The construction of fear, the loss of identity, the ongoing distress of constantly feeling unsafe, isolated from all support networks are the surreal and ongoing daily struggles for domestic violence victims. Living in such horrific conditions has immense physical and psychological effects on those directly exposed or indirectly exposed to such violence. Through this research the links between domestic violence and ill health has been well-established. In an attempt to combat this prevalence element two of It Stops Here (NSW): a “streamlined referral pathways to support victims’ safety and support their recovery” was introduced (NSW Government, 2014, p. 18). Through this second element, there has been a strong focus on being able to better identify risk and supporting victims. From the inquest inquiry into Luke’s death, Coroner Ian Grey stated that "I find that there is no validated risk-assessment tool that can accurately predict whether a parent is likely to commit filicide." (ABC News, 2015). In an attempt to close the gap on such issues in July 2015 It Stops Here (NSW)

This essay will critically analyse the significant changes that have occurred within domestic violence which is viewed as a vital subject within the criminal justice system. It will explore the way that domestic violence has progressively become a concerning issue in the criminal justice system from being relatively acceptable in recent history. In addition to this, the essay will explore legislation changes in relation to domestic violence and how the police have arguably been forced to change their attitudes towards a problem that was once thought of as a private regard. It will critically analyse the theories put forward as to why domestic violence occurs in today’s society. It will explore the weaknesses within the criminal justice system, especially the police in regards to domestic violence, the police previously viewed domestic violence as a matter of which they should not get involved. However as mentioned in the essay, after many reviews within the system, many improvements have been made to help protect the victim.

Domestic violence is the presence of violence within a relationship and takes place privately in domestic areas (Aic.gov.au, 2015). Domestic violence includes psychological abuse, physical abuse, sexual abuse and emotional abuse (Aic.gov.au, 2015). In the survey conducted among the general public in Australia an anonymous respondent defined domestic violence as “Violent or aggressive behaviour, typically involving the abuse of a partner” (Kuol A. 2015).

The abuse can encompass, but is not limited to; psychological, physical, sexual, financial and emotional’ (Gov.uk, 2017). For knowledge to grow on this area and policy and legislation to be made and implemented, research and theories are needed to understand the phenomena. Criminological theory has however, on the most part, ignored domestic violence in the earlier research. Crimes committed in the private sphere, within the family home were less problematic crimes and not for state interference. If they were charged, they were unlikely to be filed and if they were filed they were very likely to be dismissed (Brown, Esbensen and Geis,

A home is a place of safety and shelter from danger or/and negativity in the outside world. A family is a there to take care and protect you from any harm. For the children and other victims involved with family violence it may be where they are most the vulnerable to assault, misuse or deprivation, ironically at the very hands of those who have a duty to protect and nourish them. With family violence, a home and a

findings will be presented and discussed in order to lead to a final chapter of conclusions, recommendations and limitations.

The Lecture taken by ‘Shine’ explored the changes and influences of the Domestic Protection Act, 1982 and the Domestic Violence Act, 1996. The presentation put emphasis on the law and systems in dealing with domestic violence. Included also in the lecture, was the analysis of protection orders and police interference. Protection orders are in practice for the urgent safety of the victims of domestic violence. They are applied for through the family court with evidence of domestic violence or potential danger (Morden, 2016). The lecture also demonstrated that the law does not tolerate even single acts of abuse and takes procedures very seriously. The various acts are in place and are continually improving to protect New Zealanders that may be in danger of abuse.

Nowadays, domestic and family violence is still considered as a severe and non-neglected social issue. It badly ruins the families. The cases of domestic violence have been dramatically increased during the past few years. Compared to 2009-2010, it is announced that the number of domestic violence occurred was double in 2013-2014 in Victoria alone. ABS also reported that the population of Australia who experienced domestic violence was about 100,000 in 2006 (St Vincent de Paul Society 2015). In most cases, the majority of domestic violence victims were women (nearly 87%) (Hill 2015). When those women were assaulted, their children may witness the violence at the same time, it could have a negative effect on their growth in the long run.
