520 _aIn this article, the author critiques employing restorative justice models as an intervention in situations of family violence. The article focuses on violence towards women by their partners. Deficiencies in the justice systems' response to family violence are examined, as the police and courts often see this type of violence as a private issue. The article discusses the aims of restorative justice, such as empowering the victim through facing their offender. However, the author highlights the problems of applying restorative justice to family violence situations, and insists that for this approach to work, the offender must accept responsibility for his behaviour, and the public must recognise the serious nature and implications of family violence. Due to the inadequacies of restorative justice as an intervention, the author suggests a multi-strategy approach for addressing family violence that upholds the safety of victims.
