Notes:	Overview:This book chapter explores the concern that mainstream domestic and family violence services benefit Indigenous and non-Indigenous women inequitably, based on the author's experience of twenty-five years involvement in the domestic and family violence sector in Australia. Using a "feminist research practice" approach to test her hypothesis, Nancarrow conducts interviews with 20 women, half Indigenous, half non-Indigenous and analyses their responses. She finds that the two groups of women differ markedly in the way they view domestic and family violence, the criminal justice system and restorative justice. Finally, the author discusses the way that Indigenous women look to alternative ways to address family violence outside the criminal justice system, compared to non-Indigenous women who often advocate for increased criminalisation of domestic violence.
