This article discusses the mandatory non-violence programmes for perpetrators under the Domestic Violence (Amendment) Ac 2013 in light of the pan-Pacific value of collectivism. It argues that non-violence programmes reflect an individualistic approach that is at odds with the ethos of collectivism. These programmes ultimately fail to harness the protective and preventive potential of Pacific communities in changing violent behaviour. (Author's abstract).
