| dc.description.notes | This article considers some general trends based on the author’s research in the United Kingdom, Denmark and China in the discussion of domestic violence, links between the abuse of women and that of children, and prostitution. Contradictions or gaps between the laws and professional practices relating to domestic violence, child protection and visitation or contact in many European countries are highlighted. The model of ‘life on three planets’ is used to explain these contradictions. On Planet A (the domestic violence planet), domestic violence comes under criminal and civil law and is considered as a gendered crime, with the male partner perceived as violent and the woman in need of protection. However, on Planet B (the child protection planet), public law takes a welfare rather than a criminalised approach and interventions in abusive families are not gendered. Despite the violence to the mother from the male partner, the mother is seen as responsible for dealing with the consequences and the violent man disappears. On Planet C (the visitation or contact planet), it is private law with a negotiated or mediated outcome – ‘parental responsibility’ as neutral and ungendered, where the emphasis is less on protection and more on children having two parents. It concludes that the key challenge for the next decade is to bring the 3 planets into line so that the safety of women and children prevails. | en |
