| dc.description.notes | In this quantitative analysis of Australian domestic violence protection order legislation, the authors assess the victim safety orientation of each jurisdiction’s legislation (in force as at June 2012) by coding particular legislative features across a range of dimensions relating to victim safety. Through this process, the authors rank each jurisdiction’s legislation in terms of its focus on victim safety and supportive processes for gaining protection from domestic violence.<br/ ><br/ >The authors find that no jurisdiction receives 100 percent on the victim safety index used in their study. The Northern Territory legislation ranked highest, with a victim safety score of 74.2 percent, while the Australian Capital Territory (ACT) ranked lowest, at 38.7 percent. South Australian and Victorian legislation ranked relatively highly (67.7 and 64.5 percent respectively), while New South Wales and Tasmanian legislation both scored 50 percent, and Queensland and Western Australian legislation both scored 48.4 percent.<br/ ><br/ >The authors believe the results of their study raise serious questions about inequality of treatment for victims of domestic violence across jurisdictions. They suggest revisiting the discussion about the introduction of model national domestic violence protection order legislation. | en |
