Specialized Domestic Violence Courts
Women & Criminal Justice, 2005Co-Authors: Martha L. Coulter, Abigail Alexander, Victoria HarrisonAbstract:Abstract The multimethod study assesses the perceptions of specialized Domestic Violence courts' processes with victims' experiences as the central focus. Perceptions of the traditional courts and specialized Domestic Violence courts are compared among victims, courtroom police, attorneys, judges and victim advocates. Domestic Violence education among attorneys, judges, and victim advocates is also compared. Despite the intended improvements with the specialized court model, victims report similar problems in both court models. Safety and victims support among respondents is mixed. Professionals from the specialized court receive no more Domestic Violence education than those from the general court. Victims' and courtroom police recommendations are presented.

Women and Domestic Violence
International Journal of Research, 2016Co-Authors: Samreen Fatma, Anupama MehrotraAbstract:The 1970s saw a shift of focus by professions responding to Domestic Violence cases perpetrated by men towards women within Australia. Their focus was targeted at the factors that surround male perpetrators’ violent behaviour. As a result, a number of alternative interventions were established based on a new understanding of Domestic Violence. Wider explanations have therefore led professional groups to form different angles of approach. Consequently researchers have found that perceptions towards Domestic Violence and the effective reness of relevant in terventions remain controversial across professions (Laing, 2002). Based on the literature supporting the importance of consistent professional perceptions and responses towards Domestic Violence, the current qualitative research aimed to measure the consistency of perceptions across five Perth professional groups: Police, community-based, women’s refuge, justice and health professionals (N: 39). Participant responses (from survey and interview questions) about the causal explanations of Domestic Violence were measured in terms of their relationship with views on effective interventions. Consistent attitudes towards Domestic Violence were identified on a number of levels. All participants agreed that Domestic Violence is a community problem, a criminal offence and should not be tolerated. A perpetrator’s socio economic status or the degree of alcohol consumption was notfound to be causal explanations of Domestically violent behaviour. Participants acknowledged that they are significant factors in cases, and hence conclude that these factors are a stimulus behind the Violence. The majority of participants supportedpsychological/feminist/sociological 3) recently suggested reliable theories, specifically the ‘Interactive Systems and Individual’ theory of Domestic Violence. Also, with recommendations and explanations from the Best Practice.

Stalking in the Context of Domestic Violence
Women & Criminal Justice, 2004Co-Authors: Heather C. MeltonAbstract:This article examines the effect of criminal justice intervention in Domestic Violence on stalking in that relationship. Almost two hundred female victims of misdemeanor Domestic Violence in three jurisdictions were interviewed three times after their cases had closed. Qualitative interviews were conducted with a subsample of 21 victims who had experience with stalking. Specific court outcomes in Domestic Violence cases and whether or not the victim cooperated with the prosecution do not impact whether or not a Domestic Violence victim experiences subsequent stalking. Women who experienced stalking in addition to Domestic Violence were more likely to use the system in the future than women who just experienced Domestic Violence. The qualitative interviews revealed additional findings regarding victims' opinions of the criminal justice response to stalking in the context of Domestic Violence.
