| dc.description.notes | This paper discusses Queensland's Criminal Code Amendment Bill (No 2) 1999 regarding the law of self-defence when a person kills a violent partner. A background to criminal law reform and the political circumstances that brought about this amendment are discussed. The application of the existing (February 2001) Qld Criminal Code self-defence stipulations to domestic violence cases is described. It is argued that the requirements of the current provisions, such as immediacy of threat or attack, are inadequate in the context of a history of abuse. A comprehensive analysis of the proposed amendments, including subsections 271 (1), (2) and (3), and section 272 is provided. The author concludes that, although the Amendment Bill is not without fault, it is worthy of careful consideration. | en |
