Looks into the fundamental questions both about the nature of the
problem and about the functions of the police and the law. Points
out that despite the recommendations of the Select Committee on
Violence in Marriage , the police will only deal with cases of
wife assault in the most severe cases. Discusses the main courses
of action open to a woman under the Offences Against the
Persons Act 1861 and the obtaining of an injunction.
