Notes:	General Overview: :This Victorian report examines how sentences for homicide vary on the basis of various characteristics, including whether there was a history of domestic violence. Discussion: :This report analyses the sentences handed down to 243 homicide offenders between 1999 and 2006. It is a response to a Victorian Law Reform Commission report which recommended the monitoring of sentencing trends for homicides where either the victim or the offender had been subjected to domestic violence. It reports on imprisonment rates and the lengths of sentence handed down to those who killed an intimate partner where there was domestic violence in the relationship. However the authors were not able to distinguish between offenders who were perpetrators or victims of domestic violence.
