Let's examine this hidden detail in Australia's family violence response training | HBR Talk 212

This week, HBR Talk is joined by domestic violence researcher Deborah Powney to examine the entry on Responding to men who claim to be victims of family violence, along with some other entries, in the Judicial College of Victoria’s Family Violence Bench Book, presented online in the form of a wiki publication. According to the book’s page on purpose and principles, the publication describes “purposes and principles” laid out in Australia’s Family Violence Protection Act of 2008, developed to “meet perceived inadequacies in the justice system’s response to family violence because the particular dynamics and effects of family violence are poorly understood.” Will it validate or discredit feminists’ dismissal of our concerns that these policy statements and the associated training are gender-biased as a result of reliance on feminist dogma?
