Notes:	Responding to criticisms raised by Brownridge and Halli that the international literature on family violence is plagued by confusion in relation to the conceptualisation and utilisation of prevalence and incidence terminology, the authors draw on epidemiological literature to develop more appropriate operational definitions of the terms. Analogous difficulties encountered in relation to child maltreatment research are highlighted and it is argued that, while Brownridge and Halli’s ‘gold standards’ are amenable to the measurement of violence, solid epidemiological definitions are adaptable to a broader range of research and participant populations.
