Notes:	This report gives an overview of New Zealand’s responses to family violence and trends in government and community initiatives. It provides definitions of family violence, the nature of family violence, the effects of family violence and information on interventions. It is not the aim of the report to give a detailed review of all activities related to family violence but to provide an overview of some of the key issues and a framework for future conceptualisations. In Section 7, the theoretical model (the ecological model) is integrated with another model (the coordinated community action model) in order to better understand current and planned interventions. It argues for the need to move beyond zero tolerance for violence to developing positive healthy relationships. By developing a common framework for conceptualising violence prevention, it aims for practitioners, service providers, researchers and policy makers to improve their understandings of their roles. It includes an overview of child abuse (incidence and prevalence, risk and protective factors, intervention and prevention strategies such as home visitation, training in parenting, school-based programmes, health service approaches, therapeutic approaches, child fatality review teams, arrest and prosecution policies, and treatment for offenders). With intimate partner violence, it looks at incidence and prevalence, risk factors, intervention and prevention such as health care interventions, school-based programmes, employer-based programmes, gender, mass media campaigns, outreach work, legal responses, arrest policies and alternative sanctions, batterers’ interventions, and coordinated community responses. Elder abuse is also included. Cross-cutting issues in Section 6 contains co-occurrence of child abuse and partner abuse, elder abuse and other types of family violence, and other consequences such as economic costs. It concludes with recommendations for research, policy and practice. A summary of previous government and community activities for intervention and prevention of family violence through a timeline is contained in Section 11. It does not look at primary prevention programmes and media campaigns.
