Coordinated community response to family violence: the role of domestic violence service organizations

There is increasing awareness that domestic violence (DV) and child maltreatment often overlap and that there are significant negative consequences to women and children who are victims in the same families. The present study contains data from a participatory evaluation of a multisite national demonstration project on family violence (the Greenbook Initiative), funded jointly by the U.S. Departments of Health and Human Services and Justice. The goal of this initiative was to increase community capacity to assist dually victimized families. This article focuses on the DV service organizations in the demonstration with regard to collaborations with other agencies and work within the DV system to respond to dually victimized families. Findings suggest that DV agencies participated in leadership roles, cross-system collaborations, and cross-system trainings throughout the initiative. Within-agency practice changes were less apparent. Research and policy implications are discussed.

State secrets: access to information under the Human Reproductive Technology Act 1991 (WA)

Many Australian children have a biological father who gave his sperm so that the child's mother could conceive and raise them. Many of these children, and their parent(s), do not know who that biological father is. However, some want to know. The article examines the Western Australian law on access to information about the identity of parties in these arrangements. It is argued that there is an implied right to access identifying information where all parties consent to the exchange of information; that this right has been ignored in official and medical practice and opportunities for good record-keeping missed; and that the current law allows a parent to give consent to the exchange of identifying information on behalf of their child at any time after the child is conceived.     

City of secrets: Drugs, money and the law in Hong Kong

This paper describes Hong Kong's first successful money laundering case, including the key role played by the local subsidiary of the now-defunct Bank of Credit and Commerce International (BCCI). Hong Kong is revealed to be the organizational and financial linchpin of a heroin smuggling syndicate stretching from Southeast Asia's Golden Triangle to New York City. In addition, the paper analyzes the development of anti-money laundering legislation in Hong Kong and evaluates the former British colony's prospects for remaining East Asia's premier offshore finance center following the territory's return to Chinese sovereignty on July 1, 1997. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.
