520			_aThis report is in two parts. The first part provides a theoretical overview of data available in relation to wife-battering and an analysis of contemporary theories and solutions to the problem, drawing on the literature from Europe, the United Kingdom, the United States, Australia, Canada and New Zealand. The second part of the report is a study tracing the emergence of women's refuges in New Zealand and other western countries as a response to domestic violence. The New Zealand section of this study is based on material gathered via a postal questionnaire answered by five refuges in Auckland, Napier, Nelson, Christchurch and Dunedin. Variations in the aims and objectives of the five refuges depended in part upon the ideology of the initiating groups and this reflected in the way the refuges were run. The refuges also varied in the degree to which they were involved with other social service organisations. Funding was a major problem for all of the refuges, although each had its own way of dealing with this issue. The characteristics of women utilising refuge support were also examined, with age range and socioeconomic status being similar in all five refuges. The duration of stay varied from an average of five days to a month. In four of the five refuges, more than half the women chose to separate permanently from their partners, while in the fifth, over 60% returned to the relationship. The need for further research is highlighted in the areas of examination of different refuges' ideological perspectives, a comprehensive analysis of partner abuse in New Zealand, and the promotion of social change as a key to intimate partner abuse prevention.
