Perpetrators of Family Violence – Part 2

Welcome back to the 2nd part of our 4 part series on Perpetrators of Family Violence.

NLS Law Solicitor Director, Neisha Shepherd recently sat down with Joplin Higgins, from Joplin Lawyers, and Steven Halley & Dorthy Stucky Halley, the co-founders of Family Peace Initiative in the US.

In this episode Steven & Dorthy continue to share insights on the programs they implemented in the USA, exploring why perpetrators commit violence.

Steven & Dorthy discuss their preference to use the term ‘cruelty’ instead of ‘domestic violence’ and why this model has helped open the door towards intervention, accountability and healing.
