"April 1995."; nz N2 - This report is one of a series on the Hamilton Abuse Intervention Pilot project (HAIPP) commissioned by central government agencies. The report comprises results from the survey of victims of family violence that came to the notice of HAIPP. This and other HAIPP evaluation studies were undertaken to enable the HAIPP steering group to provide advice to Government on whether the HAIPP model of an integrated inter-agency approach was suitable for adoption as a standard approach for responding to family violence. The researchers used a retrospective sample survey of women who came to the notice of HAIPP during 1992 and 1993. Sample bias means the survey results are indicative rather than conclusive as survey respondents were likely to represent cases of the best possible response to, and results of, the intervention. Overall, the researchers found that survey participants used multiple sources of support, and that taking any particular action was not guaranteed to reduce violence and was not without risk. The researchers therefore recommended that policies, procedures and support that minimise risks are crucial, and further, that all services dealing with family violence should take an integrated approach with a strong victim focus ER -
