Responding to domestic and family violence in resource-constrained contexts: a case study on rural policing innovations in Melanesia

Danielle Watson, Sara N. Amin, Amanda L. Robinson · 2024 · Policing An International Journal

Summary. Police in four Melanesian countries innovate to address domestic and family violence in resource-constrained rural areas. The study finds that effective responses require stronger partnerships across sectors, increased police presence, and integration of indigenous strategies. Current efforts struggle with limited resources, low prioritization, and cultural barriers to gender reform.
