This book argues that past inattentive treatment by state criminal
justice agencies in relation to domestic abuse is now being
self-consciously reversed by neoliberal governing agendas intent on
denouncing crime and holding offenders to account. Criminal
prosecutions are key to the UK government's strategy to end
Violence Against Women and Girls. Crown Prosecution Service policy
affirms that domestic abuse offences are 'particularly serious' and
prosecutors are reminded that it will be rare that the 'public
interest' will not require of such offences through the criminal
courts. Seeking to unpick some of the discourses and perspectives
that may have contributed to the current prosecutorial commitment,
the book considers its emergence within the context of the women's
movement, feminist scholarship and an era of neoliberalism. Three
empirical chapters explore the prosecution commitment on the one
hand, and the impact on women's lives on the other. The book's
final substantive chapter offers a distinctive normative conceptual
framework through which practitioners may think about women who
have experienced domestic abuse that will have both intellectual
appeal and practical application.
