In Australia today, domestic violence is a \u201cnational emergency\u201d, an on-going crisis with no remedy in sight.\u00a0 Data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics confirms a steep increase in female victims of domestic violence over the last 5 years. Domestic homicides of women account for a third of all homicides in Australia. While rates for all other homicide types have been declining over the last three decades, the rate of domestic homicide has remained steady. Research also demonstrates that disasters such as the 2019 bushfires, the decade long drought, and the current pandemic have increased the intensity and prevalence of domestic violence in Australia. Domestic violence (DV) costs the Australian economy $22bn p.a.<\/p>\n

QUT Centre for Justice is fortunate to have a leading panel of experts to discuss this question as part of Queensland Domestic and Family Violence Prevention Month 2021.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Michael Flood is an Associate Professor in QUT Centre for Justice.\u00a0 He is a highly regarded researcher on men and masculinities, gender, and violence prevention, with a wide-ranging involvement in community and social change.<\/p>\n

Michael will argue\u00a0for \u2018putting perpetrators in the picture\u2019. He will suggest that it is time to reframe the problems of domestic and sexual violence in Australia: to give greater visibility to the perpetrators of domestic and family violence and to focus more on preventing and reducing the perpetration of abusive behaviours.<\/p>\n
