Author: Knaggs, Trish Title: The Waitakere and Manukau Family Violence Courts: An evaluation summary Summary: Family Violence (FV) Courts in New Zealand are a judicial initiative, and incorporate some aspects of problem-solving courts. Therapeutic jurisprudence is also reflected in the Waitakere FV Court process. The Waitakere FV Court began in 2001. The Manukau FV Court was implemented in 2005 after long-standing collaboration with community organisations that had previously introduced fast-tracking and victim advocacy within the Henderson District Court. These courts aim to provide a more holistic response to family violence than that currently available in the conventional court setting. FV Courts also seek to provide a more timely response to family violence, enhance safety for victims and families experiencing family violence, and encourage accountability among offenders. The Waitakere FV Court has an additional aim to provide specialist services to victims, offenders and those involved in the operation of this court. This research indicates Waitakere and Manukau FV Courts are doing much to provide this type of response. Alongside a desire to process family violence matters swiftly, FV Courts seek to do everything possible to maintain the safety of victims and families. These courts also focus on encouraging offenders to attend programmes, not only because they are seen as an opportunity for offenders to accept they are accountable for their offending, but also because in the longer term the safety of victims will be enhanced. Operationalising and maintaining such an approach requires considerable commitment and the findings describe how this is being achieved at both courts.
