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.
