Police film domestic violence statements
Police officers have used phones to record the statements of women reporting domestic violence straight after an attack, in a trial that was the first of its kind in this country.
Family Court lawyer shortage 'critical'
The number of Family Court lawyers has dropped to the point where there aren't enough to file protection orders or act for vulnerable children, the Law Society is warning.
Over the last five years, there has been a 25 percent decrease nationally in the number of lawyers providing family legal aid services, with some saying it has reached crisis point.

Labour: Community agencies needed to reduce violence

Social Development Minister Anne Tolley didn't tell a United Nations committee that New Zealand has an official measure of children who are homeless or live in poverty, she says.
Opposition MPs have been calling for a consensus about how to measure poverty.

Young Pacific people remain blighted by unhealthy food, barriers to healthcare and poor conditions at home - with an estimated one third living in a house where someone doesn't have a bedroom.
But study findings, released today, also indicate some major gains among the near-1500 students it's surveyed over time, with many making better choices around sex and drugs, feeling less depressed and aiming higher at school.
Marae and refuges across NZ funded to house 3000 homeless
Marae, women's refuges and other social agencies have won funding to house 3000 homeless families and individuals a year in the latest government bid to tackle the housing crisis.
