Understanding Victims of Interpersonal Violence: A Guide for
Investigators and Prosecutors provides accessible information for
criminal justice personnel "in the trenches" with victims of
violence to aid in understanding and explaining their behavior.
This guide sheds light on interpersonal violence victims' decisions
and actions by providing context and naming factors that commonly
impact victim responses. These include internal factors such as
culture, religion, shame, and personality, as well as external
factors like access to services, support systems, and resources.
These factors inhibit or facilitate responses like disclosure,
resistance, and participation (or lack thereof) in the prosecution
of the offenders. This book also explores the influence of the
perpetrator, as well as more deeply examining victim responses that
typically offer challenges to investigators and prosecutors; for
example, continued contact with the offender, lack of resistance,
and issues in disclosure. Finally, the guide provides concrete
tools to assist investigators in interviewing and for prosecutors
to use during the prosecutorial process. This book is designed for
investigators, prosecutors, advocates, criminal justice
practitioners, and students of these subjects.
