Notes:	Journal of the DVRC Inc. Provides the transcripts to an interviews conducted with the first Domestic Violence Coordinator for the San Diego Police Department, Anne O’Dell and the founder of a Nashville-based education and training organisation, “Take a Stand Communications” (TASC), Mark Wynn. Anne discusses the significance of distinguishing between mutual battering and self defence in domestic violence cases and some of the patriarchal assumptions underlying police and men’s activist groups responses to these issues. Her thoughts on the ability of the criminal justice system to respond to the emotional impact of domestic violence and the potential of a human rights framework in addressing this issue are also canvassed. Mark discusses the credibility of theories suggesting the inter-generational nature of domestic violence, the similarities between tactics used by perpetrators, police and courts in domestic violence cases and difficulties associated with investigating domestic and child abuse simultaneously.
