Breaking cycles of domestic abuse

This report argues that domestic abuse is a shocking and disturbingly prevalent hallmark of social breakdown – yet it exists inside every community. The findings, analysis and solutions are the result of in-depth examination of the research literature, consultation with people in the field of domestic abuse, work with adults and children who have suffered its impact, and original polling. The report applies a comprehensive, relationship-based understanding of domestic abuse to find solutions that have radical potential to end the problem and its harms. It does not address forms of domestic abuse specific to ethnic, sexual orientation, age, immigrant or other groups. The clear message of this report is that the way we are tackling domestic abuse is failing to break abusive cycles in families.
