What is a good legal case for domestic violence? I want to talk about the ineffectiveness of ADVO's.. pls help
You're making me think back a while but there was Jean Majdalaawi whom was shot outside Parramatta court by her partner while applying for an AVO. Not directly related to ADVO's but something good to mention.
Other cases include:
Case in regard to BWS (Battered Woman Syndrome) - McEwen or R vs Kina
Arthur Freeman though not directly related to DV
Julie Grant - Murdered by ex partner Shannon Mahon while breaching an AVO
Angela Furullo - Murdered by ex partner at her workplace
Kara Doyle - Murdered by boyfriend
Kelly Thompson - Murdered by partner. Occurred 19 days after she applied for an AVO
Some useful acts
Bail Amendment 2002 - Presumption against bail for individuals who committed violence and have previously breached an ADVO
Crimes Amendment Act 1982 NSW - Asserted the criminal nature of DV
LEPRA 2002 - Increased police involvement in courts
Family Law Legislation Amendment ( Family Violence and Other Measures Act) 2011 NSW - Broadened the definition of family violence (HUGE amendment)
NSW Family Violence Blueprint - $60 mil package aimed to target perpetrators and support victims
Children and YOung Persons Act 1998 - Requires mandatory report to DOCS if suspected abuse is occurring (teacher see's student with injures etc)
Crimes ( Domestic and personal violence act 2007) - Did something for ADVO's, created a separate act I believe? Someone correct me
