Domestic violence

Domestic violence offences relate to those that occur in the context of an intimate or family relationship.

They can include charges of a violent and sexual nature, and even property offences as well as breaching a domestic violence order and offences more specific to a relationship, such as choking or strangulation.

The increase in domestic violence awareness and advocacy in recent years has resulted in the courts taking offences of this nature very seriously, in an attempt to stamp out this type of behaviour.
