| dc.description.notes | This Victorian report considers the tensions that exist between non-Indigenous and Indigenous approaches to understanding and responding to violence. It looks at the damaging impact of colonisation and dispossession on the relationships Indigenous Australian peoples have with their kin, their lands and communities. It advocates for an approach that both responds to the need for a response to family violence that does not break up families and meets safety and healing. It aims to: examine the potential of using alternative justice practices to address family violence in Indigenous communities; explore issues specific to the Indigenous Australian community when responding to family violence; and evaluate the current Criminal and Civil Justice frameworks in Victoria that address family violence. A literature review and both quantitative and qualitative data from surveys and interviews with 18 Indigenous women were conducted. It suggests that the criminal justice system in its present form does not have the capacity to adequately respond to family violence, since it separates families. Restorative justice is viewed as having real potential for community involvement and capable of ‘healing’, as well as benefits of shaming and visibility, validating the victim and involving elders and respected persons. Recommendations include Restorative Justice as forming part of a wider holistic response to family violence including the use of rehabilitative programmes, resources for victims and community education. | en |
