Private Violence Public Issue - Summary of The Netherlands Government memorandum on the joint approach to domestic violence

Over the past years, ‘security’ has become a much-debated issue in Netherlands society. Most people associate the term ‘security’ with security in the streets, in their neighbourhood, in their city or town or in traffic.

However, people run most security risks in their own homes, in their own family. Central government had to promote the ‘integral approach’, demonstrated in practice to be the most effective method.
