This comprehensive overview of domestic violence against women and
children in America covers the services meant to combat it, the
legal approaches to prosecuting it, the public's attitudes toward
it, and the successes and failures of systems meant to address it.
The fight to end domestic violence consists of community-based
services for battered women, laws and policies to combat the
problem, a broad spectrum of frequently-innovative programs to
protect or otherwise support abused women and children, a dramatic
shift in media portrayals of violence against women, and a growing
public critique of unacceptable forms of power and control in
relationships. These volumes offer another weapon in that battle.
Violence against Women in Families and Relationships takes stock of
all of the ways in which legislation, programs and services, and
even public attitudes have impacted victims, offenders, and
communities over the last few decades. Contributors pay special
attention to how race, class, and cultural differences affect the
experience of abuse. They explore the efficacy of interventions,
and they provide compelling real-life examples to illustrate issues
and challenges. Our society has made an enormous investment in
stopping abuse in families and relationships, but numerous
questions still remain. Many of those questions are answered in
these pages, as experts uncover the realities of domestic violence
and the toll it takes on families, individuals, communities, and
society at large.
