The UK’s Centre for Justice Innovation recently released a book about reducing violence in society.

Curing violence: How we can become a less violent society is a collection of essays that seek to not only describe the problem of violence in our society but also to offer solutions. Our contributors make the case that reducing violence is a responsibility for everyone in society: for those in power, in both government and in the formal criminal justice system; but also for all of us in our schools and hospitals, in the arts and in our civic society, on our streets, and in our homes.”

CIJ’s Elena Campbell and Rob Hulls were asked to contribute a chapter about the Victorian Government’s response on measures addressing the reduction of family violence. This can be read at pages 35-39 here.
