Domestic and Family Violence in Historical and Contemporary Perspective

'Domestic and family violence is a national emergency with a long and troubling history. This lecture draws upon a longitudinal study to map the contours of interpersonal violence in Australian history and the criminal law’s responses. It examines how domestic and family violence was recognised and responded to across a 100-year period (1855–1954), how this compared to other forms of violence, and where historical lessons may reveal new pathways for prevention and response.'

I will be in the foyer outside by 5pm having arrived by train at Roma St and walked towards the Courts. I feel this is an interesting way of learning and understanding our society in this modern day. See you there. Cheers Chris
