Abstract

We are wasting our time instead of discussing the development of the country. We should have something better to discuss than [wife-beating]!” (Comment by a Parliamentarian, Papua New Guinea, 1987).

The [domestic violence] victim is often responsible in that he or she has made a bad choice of companions... [p]eople have to be more selective about their friends and lovers. (Milton H. Raphaelson, presiding justice of the Dudley District Court, Massachusetts, 1996).
