Whatever the number, domestic violence victims remain far too many
for a preventable crime. More and more victims of intimate partner
violence are reaching out to police, prosecutors and judges only to
be sorely disappointed, even betrayed. While laws and programs have
multiplied over the last few decades to address domestic violence,
the country is getting safer for almost everyone except for women
who have, or have had, abusive male intimate partners. Andrew R.
Klein and Jessica L. Klein look at the criminal justice response to
domestic violence across America today, ranging from police to
prosecutors and courtrooms across the nation. Abetting Batterers
reveals the troubling pattern of inattention and incompetence that
compromises the safety of women and encourages their male abusers
to continue their abuse and violence. Although criminal justice
system agencies vary among cities, towns and counties within the
same state they all too often relegate domestic violence to the
backburners of the system, dismissing victims and ignoring even the
most serious and chronic abusers. The variation reveals the real
problem in preventing intimate partner violence lies in these
agencies’ commitment and will, rather than their ability to do
the job. The authors unveil what is working in regard to protecting
victims of domestic violence and holding their abusers accountable,
and they suggest strategies for ensuring that what is being done
right can be replicated and become the law and practice across the
nation. The wide variation in how intimate partner violence is
handled by similar jurisdictions demonstrates the real problem in
preventing it lies in these agencies’ commitment, rather than
ability to do the job. This book proves to be invaluable in
understanding what is and is not being done in the reality of
domestic violence in America.
