dc.description.notesDiscusses the continuing prevalence of domestic violence despite legal reforms aimed at criminalising intimate spouse abuse and explores some of the reasons criminal justice responses have thus far been limited in their effectiveness. Argues that understanding why a large proportion of domestic violence cases are not treated as criminal requires an examination of processes and practices beyond the formal legal system, such as underreporting and police discretion. Felstiner’s stage model, which emphasises the need to name, blame and claim the violence, is utilised to analyse the court data and interview responses obtained from the research conducted. Suggestions for future reform are made on the basis of the study findings and the stage model analysis.en
