Breaking the web of silence: An exploration of Chinese women's experience of domestic violence in New Zealand
Linda Gee

In New Zealand, there is limited domestic violence research which focuses on the lived experience of women in Asian immigrant communities.
This research attempts to fill this gap... Read more

Darshini Ayton, Elizabeth Pritchard and Tess Tsindos
Trauma, Violence & Abuse, 2019, Advance online publication, 16 January 2019
Summary: Brain injury is often a precursor to, or result of, family violence. Yet there is little research identifying the connection of these two phenomena. The health cost (personal or societal) of brain injury within the family violence context is difficult to ascertain. Family violence can lead to lifelong psychological or physical scars and even death. A systematic review was conducted... Read more

Understanding how domestic violence support services promote survivor well-being: A conceptual model
Cris M. Sullivan
Journal of Family Violence, 2018, 33(2): 123-131. Open access
Summary: Domestic violence (DV) victim service programs have been increasingly expected by legislators and funders to demonstrate that they are making a significant difference in the lives of those using their services. Alongside this expectation, they are being asked to describe the Theory of Change guiding how they believe their practices lead to positive results for survivors and their children. This paper describes the iterative and collaborative process undertaken to generate a conceptual model describing how DV victim services are expected to improve survivors' lives. The Social and Emotional Well-Being Framework guiding the model is... Read more
