Diverse Voices, Varied Justice: Police responses in family violence intervention orders

Building on previous work, Westjustice will identify and investigate correlative patterns between police responses to domestic and family violence and victim-survivor demographic and identity characteristics. Police-authored applications for family violence intervention orders will be analysed in relation to marginalised victim-survivor demographics, including First Nations, migrant, refugee, CALD, LGBTQIA+, and/or those who are regionally located. This is a collaborative project across six Victorian community legal centres and La Trobe University.
