MOSLEY, Sheila
"Risk of Harm" and domestic violence : an issue for the family court?
Probation Journal, London, V.47,n.3(Sep. 2000), p.184-192


VIOLÊNCIA DOMÉSTICA

Sheila Mosley considers how the Family Courts utilise the "welfare checklist" to address the risk of harm to children exposed to domestic violence. She uses the results of a small-scale survey to illustrate her contention that an over-emphasis on notions of "justice" and "evidence-led" practice is increasing the risk of harm to children. She argues that this should be substituted with a more discursive and speculative approach to report writing.
