At the margins of provision : domestic violence, policing and community safety

By: HALL, Tina.
Contributor(s): WHYTE, Dave.
Material type: materialTypeLabelArticlePublisher: The Policy Press, 2003Policy & Politics 31, 1, p. 3-18Abstract: Despite a series of initiatives launched by New Labour aimed at tackling the problem of violence against women, it is likely that the impact of these initiatives will be minimal. This article argues that, on the one hand, this is a result of the failure of community safety as a political discourse to present a challenge to traditional law and order agendas. On the other hand, it is a result of the state`s continuing reluctance to move beyond the use of police forces in strategies to combat violence against women. This article discusses these aspects of national and local government interventions in the context of domestic violence prevention in two local authority areas of Merseyside. It then concludes with a discussion of some alternatives to current criminal justice responses
