The approach and methodology used in the research were based on feminist theories of methodology. The application of such theories is critically discussed in relation to research involving Māori participants. It is argued that had the research been designed from a Māori perspective, more of the issues of critical concern to Māori would have been explored. To put these issues into context, the article discusses traditional Māori perspectives on domestic violence, and the effects of colonisation on Māori in terms of the imposition of a foreign legal system UR - http://www.waikato.ac.nz/law/research/waikato_law_review/volume_4,_issue_1,_1996 ER -
