Citation:	10 (1), July 1998
Notes:	Discusses some commonly held beliefs and perceptions about domestic and family violence perpetuated by fathers’ rights groups and attempts to critique these ideas from an empirical standpoint. The notion that women frequently make false allegations of physical and/or sexual assault, that women often incite violence, that the Family Court victimises perpetrators of violence and that Apprehended Violence Orders are ‘handed out like lollies’ by the courts are challenged and the importance of discrediting claims like these is explained.
