| Summary, etc |
The last decade has seen increased policy reform in Australia to reduce domestic and family violence<br/>(DFV) and provide appropriate services for victims, who are predominantly women and their children. This paper<br/>provides the first quantitative assessment based on representative Australian population data of the legal and related<br/>problems that often coincide with DFV. Regression and bivariate analyses of the Legal Australia-Wide (LAW) Survey<br/>underlined the serious nature of DFV victimisation and revealed the gamut of severe legal problems and adverse life<br/>impacts that often result from, or accompany, DFV.<br/>Survey respondents who had experienced DFV in the previous 12 months (‘DFV respondents’) were 10 times more<br/>likely than others to experience other legal problems, including a wide range of family, civil and criminal law issues.<br/>Their odds of experiencing family law problems were especially elevated – a massive 16 times higher than for other<br/>respondents. They were also at least three times more likely to experience 10 of the other 11 legal problem types<br/>examined, including criminal law problems and civil law problems related to employment, financial, government<br/>payment, health, housing, personal injury and rights issues.<br/>Not only was DFV linked to a myriad of legal problems, but these legal problems were also more severe with greater<br/>adverse impacts on broad life circumstances. Four in five DFV respondents rated at least one of their legal problems<br/>as having a ‘severe’ impact on their everyday life, compared to fewer than one-quarter of others. Their legal problems<br/>were more likely to lead to stress-related illness, physical ill health, relationship breakdown, loss of income or<br/>financial strain, and moving home. They were more likely to require assistance from professionals, particularly<br/>lawyers and health and welfare professionals, and to require recourse to formal legal processes to achieve resolution.<br/>These findings demonstrating the ‘compounding effect’ of DFV victimisation on legal and human service needs, together<br/>with the relatively disadvantaged profile of people experiencing DFV, reinforce the importance of accessible public<br/>legal assistance services for DFV remaining a government policy priority. Holistic, joined-up legal and broader human<br/>services are often necessary to address the complex legal and related needs of people experiencing DFV.<br/>The results highlight the importance of ongoing funding to support initiatives that provide wrap-around assistance<br/>for DFV such as Domestic Violence Units (DVUs) and the Family Advocacy Support Services (FASS) scheme in the<br/>Local and Family Courts, as well as initiatives that link victims to legal and human services outside the court system.<br/>In addition, they indicate the potential utility of further expanding joined-up DFV services to better address the wide<br/>range of criminal and civil law problems, as well as family law problems, that are often tied up with DFV, which<br/>often span across Commonwealth and state/territory jurisdictions.
