520 _a"In risk assessment tools used by domestic violence workers and police, strangulation, short of causing death, is considered a ‘red flag’ for future serious abuse and fatality. This article discusses the risks and concerns associated with non-fatal strangulation and examines current legal responses to it in Australia, the United States and Canada. Drawing on a study of court files involving domestic violence protection orders, the authors consider how strangulation allegations made by those applying for protection orders are responded to by police and courts in Queensland. The authors conclude with a reflection on current policy and legislative approaches to non-fatal strangulation in Australia and make suggestions for law reform." (Authors' abstract). There is also reference to New Zealand.
