Introduction
Responding to Family Violence Realities is an applied multidisciplinary unit which aims to promote a deeper and more comprehensive analysis of the range of behaviours that may comprise family violence, different perspectives on the causes of and solutions to family violence and contemporary legal and other system responses to family violence. This unit has a practical application and the unit draws together academic/empirical literature, legislation, practice, policy, and problem-solving scenarios. There is a special focus throughout the unit on issues of vulnerability and diversity as well as non-stereotypical, new and emerging forms of family violence. The teaching staff for this unit have expertise in criminology, psychology and criminal law.
