520 _aThis article debates the use of Battered Woman Syndrome (BWS) as expert evidence in self-defence cases where a female has killed her abusive partner. The author explores the legal definition of self-defence, and discusses the idea of imminent danger and how this applies to battered women in New Zealand and the United States. Finally, arguments both for and against using BWS in self-defence pleas are highlighted.
