This accessible text takes a multi-disciplinary approach to
exploring issues surrounding domestic violence. It draws on
contemporary research findings, policy developments, innovative
practice and case studies to explore new directions in professional
and voluntary sector responses to domestic violence.
Centred on the United Kingdom, but located in a context of
global change, the book discusses and critically evaluates new
criminal justice and multi-agency initiatives such as domestic
violence courts and risk assessment conferences, as well as
assessing how far these initiatives improve the safety of women and
children.
Harne and Radford aim to disseminate ideas about best practice
in relation to dealing with this sensitive and still controversial
issue. They use real-life case studies from professionals,
including the police, health services and Women's Aid, and are
inclusive of the experiences of a wide range of survivors, in order
to enable an understanding of the need for appropriate responses,
depending on different survivor needs.
"Tackling Domestic Violence" provides an informed background
for professionals in the police, probation, health and social care
services, the legal system and voluntary sector with a remit to
respond to domestic violence. It is also highly relevant to those
undertaking courses on domestic violence at undergraduate and
postgraduate level.
