Abstract: This conference paper details <strong>research</strong> undertaken by the author on repeatedbreaches <strong>of</strong> protection orders in New Zealand. The <strong>research</strong> involved 20 detailed case studies<strong>of</strong> battered women who had obtained protection orders that were later breached, as well asover 70 interviews with pr<strong>of</strong>essionals working in the domestic <strong>violence</strong> field, such as Familyand District Court Judges, refuge workers, and police <strong>of</strong>ficers. The author found that the legalsystem consistently trivialised <strong>violence</strong> against women and children, and engaged in partlyblaming victims for the <strong>violence</strong>. She also found that Court counselling programmes lackedthe safety protocols to keep women from being attacked, and in one case murdered, after thecounselling session. Women also reported that they had been intimidated by their estrangedpartner once the session had ended, and that there was a lack <strong>of</strong> culturally sensitive methodsfor Maori and Pacific Island women. The author concluded that there is no one ‘magic bullet’in dealing with domestic <strong>violence</strong>, and instead, a community-wide approach must be used thatunites all agencies under the one common goal <strong>of</strong> providing independence for victims, andholding batterers accountable.Busch, R., & Robertson, N. (1997). The gap goes on: An analysis <strong>of</strong> issues under the DomesticViolence Act 1995.

Preliminary findingsshowed that the <strong>new</strong> Act introduced positive changes. These include the need for judges toconsider psychological abuse when making decisions about the welfare <strong>of</strong> children, and alesser focus on physical abuse, allowing other types <strong>of</strong> power and control mechanisms to beconsidered, reflecting the reality for women more closely. However, the authors maintain thatthere are still problems with the way the Act is implemented, such as an attitude that victims‘provoke’ domestic <strong>violence</strong> incidents, and that custody decisions do not take note <strong>of</strong>protection orders between spouses. Thus, whilst current legislation has solved someproblems, it has also created others.The authors argue that there is no one single method that will solve the problem <strong>of</strong> domestic<strong>violence</strong>, and recommend a comprehensive community-wide effort involving Police, Refugeand other social services to <strong>of</strong>fer women autonomy and to hold men accountable for theiractions.Cagney, M.

The worker in this case <strong>of</strong>ten experienced conflict between their own personalvalues and that <strong>of</strong> the pr<strong>of</strong>ession in responding to clients who sexually <strong>of</strong>fend. The authorsuggests that the way the pr<strong>of</strong>essional reacts will affect the treatment plan <strong>of</strong> the client. Thearticle discusses models <strong>of</strong> treatment, namely Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT), andintegrated frameworks <strong>of</strong> practice. The author contends that confrontation based oncompassion and respect within the CBT framework can be a catalyst for change for sexualabuse <strong>of</strong>fenders.22
Cai, D. S. (1998). The factors that influence Christchurch general practitioners’ action taken on elderabuse and neglect. Unpublished master’s thesis, University <strong>of</strong> Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand.See: www.nzfvc.org.nz/13188.pubTopic Areas: Elder abuse and neglect, Families, Older persons, Health, Education,Prevention/intervention/treatment, Cultural practice, Demographics/statisticsAbstract: This study was undertaken to determine the factors that influence Christchurchgeneral practitioners’ (GPs) action taken to deal with elder abuse, what are the barriers totaking action, and what would be or will be helpful for future action to deal with elder abuse.Systematic sampling was used to survey 112 GPs in Christchurch City and suburbs, and theoverall respondent rate was 77% in this study. The overwhelming majority <strong>of</strong> respondents(98.8%) recognised elder abuse and neglect as a social or medical problem, but 66.3% <strong>of</strong>respondents reported that they had received no educational content on elder abuse and neglectduring their former training programme. The results indicate that there is a need to educateboth health pr<strong>of</strong>essionals and the community on elder abuse and neglect, and to provide moresupport and help for victims and their caregivers. This might include pr<strong>of</strong>essional training atundergraduate and postgraduate levels, community education, respite care, providing moreinformation for victims or caregivers, strengthening community networks <strong>of</strong> service agenciesfor older people, and financial support.Source: Author’s abstractCallister, G.

Unpublished manuscript,University <strong>of</strong> Waikato, Hamilton, New Zealand.See: www.nzfvc.org.nz/13136.pubTopic Areas: Intimate partner abuse, Families, Women, Perpetrators/<strong>of</strong>fenders, Victims/survivors, Justice, LegislationAbstract: This dissertation argues the need for further amendments to the Property(Relationships) Act (1976) to account for case specific issues that victims <strong>of</strong> domestic<strong>violence</strong> encounter. It examines the division <strong>of</strong> relationship property in domestic <strong>violence</strong>cases where one partner has abused the other partner. The author explores whether legislationshould provide for victims <strong>of</strong> domestic <strong>violence</strong> to gain entitlement to more than 50% <strong>of</strong> therelationship property. Current law is discussed with reference to case studies. Domestic<strong>violence</strong> and its effects are explored with a major component <strong>of</strong> the dissertation focussing onthe economic impact <strong>of</strong> domestic <strong>violence</strong> and reasons why the impact <strong>of</strong> domestic <strong>violence</strong>needs to be considered in the division <strong>of</strong> property. Arguments for and against using theProperty (Relationships) Act to reprimand perpetrators are examined. The author alsorecommends possible reforms to the law. The author concludes that it is time for the propertylaw to be amended to provide for the consequences <strong>of</strong> domestic <strong>violence</strong>.Carbonatto, H. M. T. (1998).
