This volume addresses the varied response to domestic violence in a
comparative, international context. The chapters are laid out in a
consistent format, to cover: the nature of the domestic violence
problem, theoretical explanations, the criminal justice response,
as well as health care and social service interventions in each
country. The intent of the book is to provide an introduction to
the attitudes and responses to domestic violence in various
regions, to provide meaningful comparisons and share information on
best practices for different populations and regions. There are
considerable variations to domestic violence approaches across
cultures and regions. In some places, it is considered a "private"
or "family" matter, which can help it perpetuate. At the same time,
the United States' approach to domestic violence has been
criticized by some as being too focused on the criminal justice
system, rather than other types of interventions which aim to keep
families intact. This comprehensive work aims to highlight
innovative approaches from several regions, important cultural
sensitivities and concerns, and provide analysis to identify the
strengths and weakness of various approaches. This work will be of
interest to researchers in criminology and criminal justice, as
well as related fields who deal with domestic violence and violence
against women, including sociology and social work, and
international justice. Practitioners and policymakers will also
find it informative.
