| dc.description.notes | Examines some of the epidemiological challenges associated with assessing the prevalence, incidence and impact of domestic violence in Australia. Introduces the topic through discussing some of the general methodological problems which emerge when studying domestic violence, such as sociopolitical bias, ethical issues and the absence of an adequate knowledge base in the area. Argues there are two major methodological issues in domestic violence research which must be addressed. Firstly, there is disagreement as to what constitutes domestic violence and what kinds of relationships fall under its rubric. This creates difficulties in developing a ‘gold standard’ for measuring the frequency, intensity and impact on victims of various forms of violence and the context in which it occurs. Secondly, debate surrounds the question of whether or not behaviours and emotions exhibited by victims of domestic violence should be classified in terms of the diagnostic criteria for post traumatic stress disorder. Some of the difficulties associated with measuring symptoms of PTSD in victims of domestic violence are discussed and it is argued that further investigation and clarification of which definitions of domestic violence fulfill the diagnostic criteria is required. Other areas of further research are also suggested. | en |
