Abstract
Domestic/family violence is a pervasive and resilient social problem which crosses socio-economic, geographical, age, cultural and religious boundaries (World Health Organization, 2002). Estimates of the economic impact of domestic/family violence in high income countries extend into many millions and in some countries, billions of dollars (Taylor et al. 2008; Wilson and Websdale 2006; Access Economics 2004; Walby 2004; Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 2003).
