Police in two parts of Australia did not protect people from violence at home.

澳洲兩個地區的警方未能保護在家中遭受暴力的人。

In South Australia, a woman named Kobi Shepherdson died. The police did not see the danger from her partner. He used a prison phone to scare her mother. A judge says the police made big mistakes.

在南澳洲，一名叫 Kobi Shepherdson 的女性死亡。警方未能察覺其伴侶帶來的危險。該男子甚至使用監獄電話恐嚇她的母親。法官表示警方犯了嚴重錯誤。

In Western Australia, a woman named Virginia Giuffre died by suicide. Her family says the police did not help her. The police might have thought she was the bad person in the fight.

在西澳洲，一名叫 Virginia Giuffre 的女性自殺身亡。她的家人表示警方沒有幫助她。警方可能認為在衝突中她才是過錯方。

Now, many doctors and teachers want a public meeting. They say the police must change how they help victims.

現在許多醫生和教師要求舉行公開會議。他們表示警方必須改變協助被害者的方式。

The government is now checking the police rules to save lives.

政府目前正在檢查警方規則，以挽救生命。

Recent court findings and official reviews in South Australia and Western Australia have revealed serious weaknesses in how domestic violence risks are managed.

南澳州與西澳州最近的法院調查與官方審查發現，在處理家庭暴力風險方面存在嚴重缺陷。

In South Australia, Judge Ian White led an investigation into the death of Kobi Shepherdson. He concluded that the death was caused by a series of basic institutional mistakes. Specifically, the South Australian Police (SAPOL) failed to correctly assess the danger posed by the perpetrator, Henry Shepherdson. The court emphasized that the perpetrator used prison phones to psychologically control the victim's mother. Judge White asserted that if the risk had been labeled as 'high,' police would have used multi-agency protection plans, which likely would have stopped this illegal behavior. Consequently, the judge recommended that the government reform prisoner phone services and use findings from the Royal Commission on Domestic Violence.

在南澳州，法官 Ian White 領導了一項關於 Kobi Shepherdson 之死的調查。他結論認為，這次死亡是由一系列基本的機構錯誤造成的。具體來說，南澳州警察局 (SAPOL) 未能正確評估兇手 Henry Shepherdson 構成的危險。法庭強調，兇手利用監獄電話對被害者的母親進行心理控制。White 法官斷言，如果風險被標記為「高」，警方就會採取多機構保護計劃，這很可能會阻止此類非法行為。因此，法官建議政府改革囚犯電話服務，並採納家庭暴力皇家委員會的調查結果。

Similarly, in Western Australia, Police Commissioner Col Blanch has started an internal review regarding the police's interaction with Virginia Giuffre before her suicide in April 2024. This action follows requests from the victim's family, who claim that police did not respond properly to several reports of domestic violence. A major concern is that police may have wrongly identified the victim as the aggressor during a fight with a former partner. Furthermore, sixteen academic and medical experts have asked for a public inquiry, arguing that this case shows wider systemic failures in protecting victims of domestic violence.

同樣在西澳州，警察局長 Col Blanch 已開始內部審查警方在 Virginia Giuffre 2024 年 4 月自殺前與她的互動。此舉是應被害者家屬的要求，他們聲稱警方未能對多次家庭暴力舉報做出妥善回應。一個主要擔憂是，警方在被害者與前伴侶爭執期間，可能誤將被害者認定為攻擊者。此外，十六位學術與醫療專家要求進行公開調查，認為此案顯示在保護家庭暴力被害者方面存在更廣泛的系統性失效。

Both states are now reviewing their risk assessment methods to prevent more domestic violence deaths in the future.

兩個州目前都在重新審視其風險評估方法，以防止未來發生更多家庭暴力死亡事件。

Recent judicial findings and administrative reviews in South Australia and Western Australia have highlighted systemic deficiencies in the management of domestic violence risks.

最近在南澳州與西澳州的司法裁定與行政審查，揭露了在管理家庭暴力風險方面存在系統性缺陷。

In South Australia, a coronial inquest conducted by Judge Ian White determined that the death of Kobi Shepherdson resulted from a sequence of fundamental institutional errors. The findings indicate that the South Australian Police (SAPOL) failed to accurately assess the risk level posed by the perpetrator, Henry Shepherdson, whose history of domestic violence and coercive behavior remained insufficiently mitigated. Specifically, the court noted that the perpetrator utilized prison telecommunications to exert psychological control over the victim's mother. Judge White posited that had the risk been categorized as 'high,' the activation of multi-agency protection protocols would have likely facilitated the detection and prosecution of this illicit behavior. Consequently, recommendations were issued to the Premier and Attorney-General to reform prisoner telephone services and integrate findings from the Royal Commission into Domestic, Family and Sexual Violence.

在南澳州，由法官 Ian White 主持的死因研訊判定，Kobi Shepherdson 之死是由一系列基本制度錯誤造成的。調查結果顯示，南澳警方 (SAPOL) 未能準確評估加害者 Henry Shepherdson 造成的風險水平，其過往的家庭暴力與脅迫行為未得到充分緩解。具體而言，法院指出加害者利用監獄電訊設備對受害者的母親施加心理控制。White 法官認為，若當時將風險歸類為「高」，啟動多部門協作的保護機制很可能能促成對此類非法行為的偵測與起訴。因此，法院向州長與總檢察長提出建議，要求改革囚犯電話服務，並將「家庭、家庭及性暴力皇家委員會」的調查結果整合其中。

Parallelly, in Western Australia, Police Commissioner Col Blanch has initiated an internal review concerning the interactions between law enforcement and Virginia Giuffre prior to her death by suicide in April 2024. This administrative action follows formal requests from the decedent's family, who allege that police failed to adequately respond to multiple reports of domestic violence. A critical point of contention involves the potential misidentification of the victim as a perpetrator during a dispute with a former partner. This case has garnered support from sixteen academic and clinical practitioners who have petitioned the state coroner for a public inquest, arguing that the circumstances reflect broader systemic failures in the protection of domestic violence victims across international jurisdictions.

與此同時，在西澳州，警察局長 Col Blanch 已啟動內部審查，針對 Virginia Giuffre 於 2024 年 4 月自殺前與執法部門的互動進行調查。此行政行動是在死者家屬正式要求後採取的，家屬指控警方未能對多次家庭暴力舉報作出適當回應。一個關鍵爭議點在於，受害者在與前伴侶爭執期間，有可能被錯誤地識別為加害者。此案獲得了 16 位學術與臨床專家的支持，他們已向州死因調查官請願要求舉行公開研訊，認為此情況反映了在國際司法管轄區內，保護家庭暴力受害者方面存在更廣泛的系統性失敗。

Both jurisdictions are currently evaluating the efficacy of their risk assessment protocols to prevent further fatalities associated with domestic violence.

兩個司法管轄區目前均在評估其風險評估機制的成效，以防止再次發生與家庭暴力相關的死亡事件。
