520			_aHow New Zealand‟s front-line workers make sense of the frameworks for understanding and ending family violence is the concern of this dissertation. State level policy aimed at ending family violence emphasizes the importance of multicultural and cultural community solutions for solving the problem. The front-line workers in this study consider the concepts of safety, “power and control” and change as critical to how they understand their role in helping victims of family violence. I analyze the reasons workers hold different opinions on how to eradicate family violence based on six months of ethnographic research in New Zealand. Through interviews with front-line workers from a variety of agencies working to end family violence, the perspectives of the workers make clear how socio-economic inequality, gender discrimination, and racism play an important role in maintaining the high levels of family violence found in New Zealand.
