When Men Murder Women

Can the law be usefully employed to help women who experience domestic violence achieve 'justice'? This question has been at the heart of debates about domestic violence over the last few decades. In this paper, we review the positions of those who cautiously welcome engagement with the law - 'feminist realists', arrest studies researchers, 'sceptical reformers' and rehabilitation proponents - and those who see no value in legal intervention - 'a…

Court enforced abuser programmes are compared with more traditional sanctions such as fines and probation. Qualitative and quantitative data are used to delineate patterns of personal change and to allow the men and women involved to speak about their lives and the impact of criminal just…

Protection, Prevention, Rehabilitation or Justice? Women's Use of the Law to Challenge Domestic Violence
This article addresses the neglected question of what women who experience ‘domestic violence’ want from the law and examines the ways in which women actively engage with the legal system.

This represents a break from the tradition which has tende…

Financial Support on Divorce

Child support, spousal support, and a possible transfer of the family home are conceptually distinct, but contact with practitioners has demonstrated that they are regularly treated as components of an overall package of redistribution. This article is the product of two separate re…
