Interpersonal violence has been the focus of research within the
social sciences for some considerable time. Yet inquiries about the
causes of interpersonal violence and the effects on the victims
have dominated the field of research and clinical practice. Central
to the contributions in this volume is the idea that interpersonal
violence is a social action embedded in responses from various
actors. These include actions, words and behaviour from friends and
family, ordinary citizens, social workers and criminal justice
professionals. These responses, as the contributors to this volume
all show, make a difference in terms of how violence is understood,
resisted and come to terms with in its immediate aftermath and over
the longer term. Bringing together an international network of
scholars and practitioners from a range of disciplines and fields
of practice, this book maps and expands research on interpersonal
violence. In doing so, it opens an important new terrain on which
social responses to violence can be fully interrogated in terms of
their intentions, meanings and outcomes.
