本文评估了英格兰和威尔士家庭暴力保护令的设计和使用。它借鉴了400起警察分类的家庭暴力事件的数据，65次对受害者/幸存者的访谈，以及对英格兰和威尔士政府司法数据的新分析，以解决保护令文献中的空白。该论文指出，在英格兰和威尔士，保护令的民事和刑事“混合”日益增加，并认为已经形成了一种双重制度，由警察和/或在刑事诉讼中发布的命令越来越优先于（和执行）受害者主导的民事命令。虽然保护令正在按照预期灵活地用于保护家庭暴力受害者，但在实践中使用保护令的方式可能会降低家庭暴力在刑事司法方面的地位。鉴于目前政府建议通过在英格兰和威尔士引入单一的包罗一切的家庭虐待保护令来合理化保护令，这些结论尤其及时。
This paper assesses the design and use of protection orders for domestic violence in England and Wales. It draws on data from 400 police classified domestic violence incidents and 65 interviews with victims/survivors, as well as new analysis of government justice data from England and Wales, to address a gap in literature on protection orders.The paper identifies an increasing civil-criminal 'hybridisation' of protection orders in England and Wales, and argues that a dual regime has developed, with orders issued by police and/or in criminal proceedings increasingly privileged (and enforced) over victim-led civil orders. Whilst protection orders are being used - as intended - flexibly to protect domestic violence victims, the way they are applied in practice risks downgrading domestic violence in criminal justice terms.The conclusions are especially timely in light of current Government proposals to rationalise protection orders by introducing a single over-arching Domestic Abuse Protection Order in England and Wales.
