About this book
Description
This edited collection brings together a range of practitioners and researchers to examine practical, evidence-informed strategies for addressing family violence, particularly in the New Zealand context. Rather than relying on a single theory, the book emphasises that family violence is complex and multi-layered, requiring diverse, adaptable interventions.
The chapters explore work with different groups affected by violence, including women (both victims and perpetrators), children, men who use violence, and people in same-sex relationships or gang environments. It highlights that one-size-fits-all approaches are ineffective, and interventions must be tailored to specific social, cultural, and relational contexts.
A key theme is the importance of holding perpetrators accountable while supporting behaviour change, focusing on understanding the beliefs, attitudes, and patterns that sustain abusive behaviour. The book also stresses that successful intervention depends on the willingness of offenders to change and on practitioners using well-informed, reflective methods.
Additionally, it addresses broader challenges in the field, such as practitioner training, maintaining professional integrity, and developing culturally appropriate responses—particularly for Māori and Pacific communities.
