| Title: | Domestic violence in Australia : the legal response |
| Authors: | Alexander, Renata |
| Keywords: | Protection orders;Legal issues;Interagency work |
| Year: | 2002 |
| Publisher: | Federation Press, Annandale |
| Notes: | Although the focus of this book is the legal remedies available for victims of domestic violence, the author begins by arguing for an interagency response, and provides practical assistance by supplying a list of specialist domestic violence services in each State and Territory, in addition to information on income support available to women through Centrelink. Following a brief overview of the nature of domestic violence, the author describes in detailed but “plain English” the remedies available for addressing domestic violence through the criminal, civil and Family Law systems, and includes a discussion of their relative advantages, disadvantages and intersections. Contains a chapter which comprehensively details the different provisions and procedures in each State and Territory for obtaining protection orders. |
