Title:	Justice or judgement? The impact of Victorian homicide law reforms on responses to women who kill intimate partnersDVRCV Discussion Paper
Authors:	McKenzie, Mandy Kirkwood, Debbie
Keywords:	Legislation analysis;Legal issues;Homicide
Year:	2013
Publisher:	Domestic Violence Resource Centre Victoria
Citation:	No. 9
Notes:	This discussion paper was written to examine the legal outcomes of women who have killed their intimate partners since 2005 when changes were enacted to homicide laws in Victoria. These legislative reforms were brought about in response to issues arising from the application of the partial defence of provocation (especially where men killed their female intimate partners) and also in cases where women who had killed a violent partner relied on self defence in court.
