Violence in the Family edited by Joscelynne A. Scutt. Australian Institute of Criminology (111-18 Colbee Court, Phillip, A.C.T. Australia 2606), 1980, 222 pp., softcover--$3.00. Ms. Scutt has assembled a collection of papers that represents the basis of discussions held at a national conference dealing with the entire spectrum of domestic violence. That conference, hosted in 1979 by the Australian Institute of Criminology, had two m a j o r aims: first, to assemble domestic violence researchers from throughout Australia; and second, to examine programs designed to deal with domestic violence. This volume consists of 19 papers divided into four sections. The first section presents background material placing the Australian family, and violence within it, in a social context. In the second section, each aspect of domestic violence is presented in a research p a p e r written by a person working in that field. The six papers, which deal with child abuse, spouse beating, child rape, sibling aggression, sex and class inequality, and marital murder, reveal that violence can and does occur at all levels of society, cutting across thhe style of family unit, class, race, and ethnic lines. The third section focuses on the law, its inadequacy in handling domestic disputes, and suggestions for law reform, as well as i m p r o v e m e n t of reforms already effected. Four legal areas, including rape in marriage and compensation of victims, are discussed. The final section, entitled "The Agencies," describes and evaluates various initiatives taken to assist victims of violence and to assist domestic violence victims; these initiatives include crisis and sexual assault referral centers. Also included in this volume is an appen-
dix setting out the highlights of the national conference, a list of conference participants, and a bibliography. (PR)
