Domestic violence does not begin the day an adult heterosexual male
decides to beat and batter an adult heterosexual female. Domestic
violence is a complicated and multifaceted enigma that includes
child, sibling, spousal, intimate partner, and elder abuse. Despite
spending billions of dollars on domestic violence, the number of
some categories of victims remains the same. The problem can be
traced back to our very definitions of victim and abuse. Until we
open our eyes to the blatant empirical evidence and come to some
agreement on a basic platform, this pervasive crime will not
diminish. Domestic Violence: Intervention, Prevention, Policies,
and Solutions presents a rational and reasoned perspective that
emphasizes evidence-based information rather than ideologically
held beliefs. It challenges the effectiveness of existing policies
and procedures and introduces 10 recommendations for change. The
book summarizes many important federally sponsored reports and
provides unique meta-analysis styled empirically based overviews of
contemporary research and intervention efforts. It also supplies
print and web-based national and state specific resources and
references to studies and organizations that will be updated
online. Topics addressed include historical and current
explanations of battering behavior, the importance of the accurate
and unbiased identification of victims, differences and the
implications of those differences in reporting rape and sexual
assault, and the understanding of risk factors. It considers the
fallacy of ideological advocacy and presents legislation and
policies in Colorado and California as cases in point. In
particular the author explores the prevailing notion of the
predominance of female victimization over male victimization.
Injecting a voice of reason into a highly emotional debate, this
outstanding volume clarifies our convenient delusions and allows us
to re-appraise this sensitive issue and effect a positive and
progressive outcome.
