Abstract: This article begins with a summary of the Domestic Violence Act (1995), andhighlights that Pacific Island women in Christchurch are penalised for their ethnic and genderorigins. The research provides a discussion of the Domestic Violence Act and its provisions,and of ethnic considerations for many Pacific Island cultures. The methodology employed inthis research is participant-observation using the snowball sampling method. Observationsoccurred over 5 years at a Christchurch women’s refuge, over 2 years at a Christchurchorganisation providing programmes for violent males, and the researcher spent time in anumber of Polynesian Islands conducting interviews with 76 participants. The researchsuggests that attitudes and beliefs of the police influence decisions about arresting someoneunder the Domestic Violence Act. Further, the widespread implications of language barriersand religious issues are explored, and the research concludes with implications andsuggestions for public policy and services. The article suggests that strengthening the linksbetween the justice system and various Pacific Island church ministers may help meldattitudes about religion and ethnicity to alleviate tension.Young, L. (1996). Mothers voices: A study of mothers of children who have been sexually abused.Unpublished master’s thesis, University of Auckland, New Zealand.See: www.nzfvc.org.nz/13142.pubTopic Areas: Child abuse and neglect, Sexual abuse, Incest, Families, Women, Children asvictims, Justice, Cultural factors, Mental health, Social services, Prevention/intervention/treatment, Cultural practiceAbstract: The purpose of this study was to gain an understanding of mothers’ responses tothe sexual abuse of their child. Interviews were undertaken with 9 mothers, exploring theirreactions to the abuse, what helped them, what made the experience worse for them and whatrecommendations they wished to make to service providers. Mothers’ feelings includedshock, anger, powerlessness, sadness, guilt and isolation. Most experienced some difficultyaccepting that the abuse had occurred, but all were supportive and protective of their child.The responses they received from others included accusations of inventing the abuse, andblame for allowing the abuse to happen. Mothers’ reactions to the abuse were stronglyconsistent regardless of the circumstances of the abuse; however, responses from other peoplevaried, with greater support being given to the mother when the abuse was extra-familial.Mothers received little help and support for themselves following the abuse, and thereforeidentified great need for improvement in services available to mothers if they are to beenabled to provide optimum support to enhance their child’s recovery and maintain their ownwellbeing.Source: Author’s abstractYoung, T.

Wellington, New Zealand: Department of Justice.See: www.nzfvc.org.nz/13231.pubTopic Areas: Intimate partner abuse, Physical abuse, Sexual abuse, Sexual assault/rape,Families, Women, Young persons, Older persons, Violence against men, Maori, Pakeha,Pacific peoples, Social services, Demographics/statisticsAbstract: This report presents the findings from New Zealand’s first comprehensive nationalsurvey of crime victims. The response rate was 57% and participants were drawn from arandom sample of the population aged 15 years and over. The objectives of the survey wereto produce an alternative measure to police crime victimisation statistics; to collateinformation on the circumstances and impact of offences; to illustrate victims’ responses tocrime and its effects; and to provide other information related to crime. The survey focusedon personal offences and household offences. The results of the survey indicate that nearlytwo-thirds of the offences disclosed in the survey are violent or sexual offending. The reportdiscusses family violence in relation to the perpetrators being well known to the victim; thisincludes data collected on partner abuse.Yule, T. (1996). A critique of the Domestic Violence Act 1995. Unpublished manuscript, University ofAuckland, New Zealand.See: www.nzfvc.org.nz/12942.pubTopic Areas: Intimate partner abuse, Families, Victims/survivors, Children as victims,Children as witnesses, Justice, Protection orders, Care and contact, Legislation, Prevention/intervention/treatmentAbstract: This paper aims to critically analyse and evaluate the changes introduced by thetwo main Acts in the law reform package: the Domestic Violence Act (1995) and theGuardianship Amendment Act (1995). In the first part of the paper the dynamics at work inabusive relationships are discussed. The aim is to dispel the many myths surrounding thetopic of domestic violence and to provide the reader with some background knowledge withwhich they too can evaluate the new legislative reforms. The second part of the paperprovides an outline of the regime established by the Domestic Protection Act (1982).Although the Domestic Protection Act was considered to be an innovative response to theproblem of domestic violence in the early 1980s, the inadequacies of that regime became thesubject of close scrutiny over the next 13 years. In the third part of the paper, the three reportsthat constituted the major catalysts for legislative reform are identified and briefly discussed.Finally, in the main part of the paper, the reforms introduced by the Domestic Violence Actand the Guardianship Amendment Act are examined and the adequacy of the new regimeevaluated.Source: Author’s abstract187
