Title:	Improving outcomes through a shared understanding of family violence in Aboriginal communities : towards an Aboriginal theory of family violence
Authors:	Hovane, Victoria
Keywords:	Cultural Diversity;Aboriginal Australians;Family violence;Culture
Population:	Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples
Year:	2015
Publisher:	Australian Psychological Society
Notes:	"Family violence does not discriminate and is of significant concern among Australia's many and diverse communities. In this regard, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have their own theoretical discourses about the onset, development, and maintenance of family violence as it manifests in families and communities today. These perspectives go beyond individualised women's experiences and are multi-layered. Understanding these perspectives is critical to improving outcomes in Aboriginal communities. This article describes one such multi-layered perspective which is embedded in Aboriginal Law2 and Culture, and provides opportunities for improving policy, practice and importantly, outcomes in families and communities."
