The non-fatal strangulation offence as a response to domestic violence

本项目旨在检讨非致命绞杀罪行在应对家庭暴力方面的应用和经验。通过混合方法的设计，该项目将在实践中产生关于非致命绞杀罪行操作的新知识。这一点至关重要，因为许多逃离家庭暴力的妇女报告说，她们被过去的伴侣非致命地勒死。计划的预期成果包括提出法律改革和政策建议，以改善罪行的运作、加强服务反应和发展专业教育。这项研究将通过更好地理解对家庭暴力的法律反应，提供显著的社会和经济效益。

This project aims to review the application and experience of the non-fatal strangulation offence as a response to domestic violence. Through a mixed-methods design, the project will generate new knowledge about the operation of the non-fatal strangulation offence in practice. This is crucial given that many women escaping domestic violence report non-fatal strangulation from their past partner. Expected outcomes of the Project include the development of law reform and policy recommendations to improve the operation of the offence, enhance service responses and develop professional education. This research will provide significant social and economic benefits through better understanding of the legal response to domestic violence.
