Beyond violence: Breaking cycles of domestic abuse

The report applies a comprehensive, relationship-based understanding of domestic abuse to find solutions that have radical potential to end the problem and its harms. 

Its authors do not address forms of domestic abuse specific to ethnic, sexual orientation, age, immigrant or other groups. Nor is this an exhaustive review of existing good practice, although reference is made to many such examples upon which our solutions are designed to build. 

For them to be most effective they need to be embedded within a wider, in-depth response to social disadvantage and family dysfunction.
