Abstract

Queensland statistics demonstrate the continuing incidence of domestic violence, applications for protection orders increasing from 517 in the Act's first full year of operation in 1990-91 to 1024 in 1995-6. Studies suggest that women who are most likely to be victims of domestic violence have no independent incomes, no friends or family close by, and are often isolated, either in rural areas or because they do not speak English. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women are also at risk.
