Abstract: | This article examines the development of specialist domesticviolence courts. It overviews the features of problemsolving courts and considers the extent to which thefledgling domestic violence courts in England and Wales areadopting the problem solving approaches found in some specialistcourts in the United States of America. Whilst noting some ofthe successes of the first seven domestic violence courts inEngland and Wales, the article concludes that more effectiveinterventions in domestic violence cases can be achieved throughgreater involvement of the judiciary in ongoing monitoring ofthe defendants compliance with court ordered perpetratorprogrammes. |
