520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC.
Summary, etc This dissertation aims to critically analyse and evaluate the changes introduced by the two main Acts in the law reform package: the Domestic Violence Act (1995) and the Guardianship Amendment Act (1995). In the first part of the paper the dynamics at work in abusive relationships are discussed. The aim is to dispel the many myths surrounding the topic of domestic violence and to provide the reader with some background knowledge with which they too can evaluate the new legislative reforms. The second part of the paper provides an outline of the regime established by the Domestic Protection Act (1982). Although the Domestic Protection Act was considered to be an innovative response to the problem of domestic violence in the early 1980s, the inadequacies of that regime became the subject of close scrutiny over the next 13 years. In the third part of the paper, the three reports that constituted the major catalysts for legislative reform are identified and briefly discussed. Finally, in the main part of the paper, the reforms introduced by the Domestic Violence Act and the Guardianship Amendment Act are examined and the adequacy of the new regime evaluated.--AUTHOR'S ABSTRACT
