N2  - This report is the first major attempt to look at attitudes towards family violence in New Zealand. The research involved three separate studies covering Māori, Pacific Islands and Pākehā perspectives. Methodology appropriate to each cultural group was employed and in-depth personal and group interviews were conducted by 'own-culture' interviewers. Respondents came from all age groups, from rural and urban areas, and a variety of socioeconomic backgrounds. The sample does not aim to be statistically representative of the New Zealand population, but to present views on family violence from 'those whose views were least likely to be known.' (p7) While the studies were independently designed and executed, researchers from the three groups consulted throughout. This approach means that particular aspects of violence may have received more attention in one group than others. For example, in the Māori study, there is more detailed information on attitudes towards sexual abuse than in the Pacific Islands or the Pākehā study.     The report groups the different types of violence identified by respondents into six main categories: physical, verbal, mental/emotional, sexual, spiritual and cultural. The study uncovers different attitudes to these types of violence, both within and between the different cultural groups, although some of the cross-cultural differences stem from the difference in the depth of probing within each individual study.     The report includes general recommendations for policy and programmes, including a recommendation that the parallel study approach be used again in a more co-ordinated fashion. The authors suggest that further research is needed into actions that will empower people to deal with violence
