“We know from recent @ANROWS & @AICriminology research that 1 in 4 intimate partner homicide victims had obtained a protection order during the post-separation period – intervention at this time can be critical to reducing further offending & #IPH,” said Padma Raman @ANROWSCEO.

Research by the @AICriminology shows around 50% of #DFV perpetrators commit a further offence within 4 years. Overseas trials of focused deterrence approaches like CEASE have shown collaborative multiagency intervention can reduce the chance of reoffending.

CEASE is a multiagency response that applies a range of tools & tactics to hold #DFV perpetrators accountable & deter further abuse. Importantly #CEASE provides parallel support for victims & survivors.
This is the first Australian trial of this approach to reduce DFV offending.

How can we improve police responses to #domesticviolence? @ANROWS+@AICriminology have partnered for a 🆕 intervention – CEASE – a focused deterrence-based approach that aims to reduce #DFV reoffending & add to the evidence base on perpetrator interventions

Speaking on @DV_NSW’s children, young people & domestic violence (DV) panel, survivor and advocate @SimonByrnes466 explained “DV will always have multiple people that share the story”. #DVNSWconference2022

"We spend 40 per cent of our police time responding to DV … that’s a lot of our time … not just in the actual response … We need to have good data so we understand where our resources go," explained @nswpolice Commissioner Karen Webb to @DV_NSW #DVNSWconference2022 attendees.
