The perpetration of intimate partner violence by women has long
been a controversial topic. More recently, researchers, treatment
providers and other professionals have begun to critically examine
theoretical, research and practice perspectives to gather a better
understanding of this controversial issue. The current text will
provide the reader with a more thorough discussion on our current
understanding of the context and motivation of women's use of
violence against intimate partners. This text will discuss the
controversies related to the arrest and treatment of women arrested
for domestic violence from a variety of theoretical perspectives
while also providing updates on the current research focusing on
typologies of female offenders. The text also provides a critical
review of current treatment strategies for women arrested for
domestic violence.
The contributors are the foremost leaders in the field of
research and practice on intimate partner violence offending and
have written chapters that provide a key review of the work that is
currently emerging in the field. As a result, this text is the most
comprehensive guide to date that discusses female perpetration of
intimate partner violence. Recommendations for specific treatment
with this population and implications for practice and policy are
provided throughout.
