The murder of a parent by their child, known as parricide, is a relatively uncommon form of family violence. We need to know much more about it to better understand and prevent it.
The Victorian government’s new centre to prevent terrorist and lone actor attacks needs to fully understand the links between these types of attacks and violence against women.
Under recently announced Victoria Police changes, family violence will be investigated as major crime by specialised units.

A year since its royal commission reported, Victoria continues to lead the nation in how to respond to, and prevent, family violence.
