Premium Content  The scourge of domestic violence is worsening across the state as statistics from the Queensland Courts reveal frightening increases in domestic violence orders (DVOs) made. More than 38,000 DVOs have been made by the Queensland Courts over the last year, the majority of which were lodged at Southport, Beenleigh and Brisbane. Women are, more often than not, the victims of domestic violence in Queensland, representing 77 per cent of those who require court protection. The orders can include conditions that limit or ban contact between the defendant and the aggrieved, prevent the defendant from coming within a a certain distance of the aggrieved, and order the defendant to be of good behaviour to the aggrieved, among other things.
