Summary
Every two minutes, police are called to a family violence matter. Every week, a woman is killed by a current or former partner. This is Australia's national emergency. Violence against women is preventable. It is not an inevitable part of the human condition. It's time to create a new normal. It is time to stop the slaughter in our suburbs.

Critic reviews
'Violence is preventable and this passionately written and very important book compels us to take action, challenge ourselves and do so much more to stop this global pandemic.' (Rosie Batty AO, British-Australian family violence prevention campaigner and speaker)
'This is a book that tells the brutal truth. With clarity and rigour, it spells out the facts: both unforgiving and unforgiveable. On Violence doesn’t shrink from the darkness – but it also doesn’t leave us there, alone. It arms us with new ideas, positive stories, evidence of tangible change. And it provides a set of clear and cut-through points you can carry in your pocket. With On Violence, Natasha has given us a powerful mixture of policy primer, conversation-starter and argument-winner.' (Chloe Shorten)
'The book draws on considerable research and the stories of women affected by violence, blended with anecdotes from [Natasha’s] time in politics and the community sector. It serves as a call to arms for governments, communities and citizens to address this crisis.' (The Weekend Australian)
