Police applications for intervention orders and women’s experience of the family violence justice system in a post-Royal Commission landscape
Since the Royal Commission into family violence, the police response to family violence has intensified and resulted in a significant increase of police brought family violence intervention orders. This project will explore the impact that this is having on women’s experience of the justice process as well as safety and wellbeing outcomes.
