Family Violence Reform: Using knowledge to develop and integrate policy and practice

家庭暴力是对妇女、儿童和一些男子的健康和福祉的严重威胁，估计每年造成81亿美元的经济损失。这项研究将解决国家的“热点”问题，包括：消除肇事者和保持儿童和妇女在自己的家园的有效性;是否对法定的儿童保护制度的儿童早期转介社区服务的影响;刑事和民事司法反应的整合;和多学科的治理安排在大都市和农村地区的有效性。这项研究将为决策者和从业人员提供持续的反馈，并将使澳大利亚成为提供家庭安全的世界领导者。

Family violence is a serious threat to the health and well-being of women, children and some men, costing the economy an estimated $8.1 billion annually. This research will address national 'hot' issues, including: the effectiveness of removing perpetrators and keeping children and women in their homes; whether the early referral of children to community services impacts on the statutory child protection system; the integration of criminal and civil justice responses; and the effectiveness of multi-disciplinary governance arrangements in metropolitan and rural regions. The research will provide continuous feedback to policy makers and practitioners, and will establish Australia as a world leader in delivering family safety.
