Violence against women by their intimate partners remains a leading cause of injury and death to women worldwide. Governments around the globe are searching for appropriate solutions to woman abuse. This article examines transnational legal interventions instituted to respond to the problem of intimate violence and assesses the propriety of the criminal model on which they are based. Using postmodern social work theory and practice, the article promotes the idea of a more workable alternative response to the problem--a domestic violence commission that places control over her actions and reactions in the hands of the battered woman.
亲密伴侣对女性的暴力行为仍是全球女性受伤和死亡的主要原因。世界各国政府都在寻找应对女性受虐问题的恰当解决方案。本文审视了为应对亲密暴力问题而采取的跨国法律干预措施，并评估了这些措施所基于的刑事模式的适当性。本文运用后现代社会工作理论与实践，倡导针对该问题采用一种更可行的替代应对方式——设立一个家庭暴力委员会，将对受虐妇女行动和反应的控制权交到她们手中。
