Summary: This book focuses on the Duluth model of domestic violence intervention - an independent community organisation that was set up to track domestic violence cases, contribute to monitoring and development, and provide specialist training and programmes. Several chapters outline the establishment of, and the background to, the Duluth Abuse Intervention Project in Minnesota, USA, discussing policies, methods of community coordination, systems monitoring, advocacy, programmes for victims, perpetrators and children, and evaluation. In one of the chapters, Roma Balzer describes how the Hamilton Abuse Intervention Project (HAIP) was established in New Zealand in 1991 using the Duluth model. The process through which Women's Refuge workers and others decided to implement the Duluth model is outlined, paying particular attention to how the model was found to be compatible with an analysis of colonisation, the experiences of Māori women, and the New Zealand cultural and political context. The author discusses the implementation of the pilot, the government decision to withdraw funding, and the continued existence of HAIP as a community initiative, which lead the way for future collaborative domestic violence intervention projects in New Zealand.
