| Annotation | Research has shown that people are more likely to be killed, physically assaulted, hit, beaten up or slapped in their own home by other family members than anywhere else, or by anyone else, in our society. This article discusses how provisions in recent legislation - the Protection from Harassment Act 1997, and Part IV of the Family Law Act 1996 - might help older people living within extended families to obtain protection from the courts which was not previously available. |
