520 _aThis article discusses Part 2 of a domestic protection study on battered women seeking protection from the justice system. The two case studies presented in this article form part of a substantial study on the problem of repeated breaches of domestic protection orders (see "Protection From Family Violence: A Study of Protection Orders Under the Domestic Protection Act 1982", Busch, Lapsley & Robertson, 1992). Although the authors acknowledge that there are achievements and successes of a significant nature concerning the outcomes for women who obtain protection orders, they argue that these are due to the woman's demeanour, rather than results afforded by the justice system. The authors conclude that a common theme running through the women's stories was the recurring situation of the gap between the realities of women's lived experience of partner violence and the way in which the justice system responded to their victimisation.
