Domestic violence, childhood sexual abuse, rape and sexual
assault, and sexual exploitation through prostitution, pornography
and trafficking can have many significant adverse impacts on a
survivor's health and wellbeing, in the short, medium and
long-term.
Taking a life-course approach, the book explores what is known
about appropriate treatment responses to those who have
experienced, and those who perpetrate, domestic and sexual violence
and abuse. The book also examines key factors that are important in
understanding how and why different groups experience heightened
risks of domestic and sexual violence and abuse, namely: gender and
sexuality; race and culture; disability; and abuse by
professionals.
Drawing together results from specially commissioned research,
the views of experts by experience, experts by profession and the
published research literature, the book argues that sufficient is
already known to delineate an appropriate public health framework,
encompassing primary, secondary and tertiary prevention, to
successfully tackle the important public health issue represented
by domestic and sexual violence and abuse. Domestic and Sexual
Violence and Abuse equips health and social care professionals and
services to identify and respond to the needs of affected
individuals with a view to the prevention and early
intervention.
