In a traditional manner, the victims and abusers of the domestic violence are treated separately. However, complex emotions are often involved in the intimate violence so that it is difficult to detach victims and abusers' relationships. Even the legal actions had been taken; it still cannot provide fully protection for the victims of domestic violence. According to Bowker(1983), he verified that the violence could be terminated successfully while the battered women and abusers keep maintaining their relations. Therefore, how to help victims and abusers to create a non-violence interactive relationship instead of isolation is the key to terminate the occurrence of the domestic violence. In view of this, applying the restorative justice could be an alternative solution which has been brought up to attention recently. During the process of providing protective services, the Tainan Women's Right Association found out that a certain percentage of victims of domestic violence are willing to restore relationship or keep their interactions with the abusers. Therefore, an integrated social work and restorative justice treatment were implemented to help those adult victims between the year of 2011 and 2012. However, there are some arguments while applying restorative justice on the cases of the domestic violence. For example, during the process of this service, some conflicts among professions are the challenges that to be deal with. Also, whether the project could help those victims relief from their difficulties or not is still an issue to be concern. The researcher has been worked for abused women with practical experience many years and also acted as a supervisor of this project. By reviewing and discussing the implications and limitations of this project, the suggestions are provided for the future practices and also could inspire more people reflect on feasibilities for integrating social work and restorative justice treatment. |
