Synopsis

The latest edition of this successful book continues to address the basic question: What is an appropriate response to domestic violence?

As in the previous edition, the authors provide a brief overview of the theories of causation of domestic violence and its prevalence in our society. They focus on the rapidly evolving nature of the criminal justice system response to the problem and the opportunities and limitations of various new approaches. The book has been extensively revised and new material has been added on changes in prosecution criteria, detection and response methods, as well as on different methods to protect the victim through counselling and, in some cases, mediation.
