Notes:	This Australian study examined the multi-agency response to domestic violence in Tasmania – the Safe at Home model – which was introduced in 2004. This model is based on a pro-arrest, pro-prosecution and pro-interventionist approach to family violence. It involves a coordinated response from police, criminal justice, family violence, child protection, victim support and related services. The study uses grounded theory and discourse analysis to analyse a range of data regarding the Safe at Home model, including a database of 906 risk assessment tools, as well as the researcher’s own observations, field notes and field interviews. The analysis is informed by the work of Marten Hajer, specifically his concepts of discourse institutionalisation and discourse coalitions. Using Hajer’s framework, the author argues that the storylines of risk developed by the police, victim advocates and legal personnel involved in the Safe at Home model fall into three distinct categories: the risk management discourse, the justice discourse and the genuine victim discourse.
