Victims' Experiences of The Criminal Justice Response to Domestic
Abuse: Beyond GlassWalls provides a unique perspective on how
victims of domestic abuse experience the justice process. It tells
two stories: first, a socio-legal narrative of the public policy,
legislative, academic and social responses across Scotland, England
and Wales; and second, the experience of female victim-survivors
who report domestic abuse to the police. The apparent sweep of
progress on the public stage is juxtaposed with the private
struggle of individuals who continue to face barriers to justice.
In-depth interviews with women who have experienced domestic abuse
and those who support them identify a number of challenges. Moving
beyond the arrest, procedural hearings and trial Forbes considers
the emotional implications of waiting at home, travelling to court,
and the unmet support needs and unanswered questions beyond the
so-called conclusions of their case. Beautifully illustrated, this
accessible overview uses victim narrative to provide explicit,
practical advice for busy practitioners and students alike.
