"for instance many women are killed after DVO are enacted...."
Then why isn't THIS DV? Seems to be at least a double standard there... I once tried to persuade the relevant NSW police body to look into the incidence of murder after an AVO or DVO was put in place - and consider whether or not it was in itself a 'trigger' for escalation of violence.
Not interested - nor is anyone else, no research, no compilation of stats etc, just dogged adherence to the same old worn-out paradigm that is killing people - but it seems to me that without clear proof of genuine violence beforehand - application of any 'orders' is an unwarranted imposition and thus clearly has the potential to escalate violence and exacerbate any differences... not resolve them. As I said in my overlooked submission to the NSW Law Reform Commission (three lies for the price of one) - any act of genuine violence was already actionable under the Law of the land - thus there was no need for 'orders' or other sanctions based on emotions - AND, being themselves an imposition - such things were more likely to make matters worse... (this was filed under "there were two dissenting views')...
to my knowledge and in this case I dont think a DVO was applied for....
and of course enacting a DVO will trigger certain persons...... as does telling them " you are leaving them"....they just cant handle rejection.....
so what is the solution.. NO DVOS would that work?....
a visit to the offender by cops.... welfare.....mental health...
if only one size fitted all.....
Rose Batty is a classic example she never for a moment thought her exhusband would harm their son.. he loved his boy.....yet he killed him with a cricket bat...
we have to have laws otherwise society wont work..
when you think of the number of deaths due to dv it is on the whole a very small number.....BUT why should one person not be allowed to leave a relationship.for fear of death.....why should a person live in dread and fear everyday because they are in a relationship with a monster who makes their lives hell..
please note no gender mentioned......it goes for all persons....in a bad relationship.....
maybe mental issues are on the increase and we have taken our eye off the ball....because its so huge...
but I doubt removing DVOs would prevent deaths.....
