Interagency working on domestic violence has progressed much in
recent years, with the introduction of domestic violence units and
formal multi-agency arrangements involving the police, local
authorities and specialist non-statutory organisations. Innovative
work in the United Kingdom is paralleled by developments elsewhere.
This book considers the policy implications of interagency
approaches. It examines some of the theoretical concepts that
underlie this work and brings together evaluations of innovative
projects and examples of good interagency practice. The chapters
are not all written from the same perspective. Some are more
guarded or more critical of the approach than others. We hope that
the book will offer to its readers information that will enable
them to make their own assessments. Contents include: Multi-Agency
Responses: A Dynamic Way Forward or a Face-Saver and Talking Shop
