Children and Adolescent’s Experiences of Violence and Abuse at
Home is a unique book that explores some of the main controversies
and challenges within the field. The book is organised into three
sections, the first covering work that has focused on the
experiences of living in DV settings as a child or young person,
the second offers overviews of the impact of child victimisation
and the final section is about working with children in practice
and service-based settings. It includes extensive reviews of the
literature, empirical research and practice observations, all of
which provide compelling evidence of a need to change how we
construct victims and design services. It provides evidence for the
need to work sensitively, inclusively, and responsively around
issues of victim identification, support, and prevention. Moreover,
the evidence urges us to include children’s and adult
victim/survivor’s experiences and contributions in the creation
of services. Concluding with a series of recommendations for both
future research, and ways in which we can help use the research
findings to inform practice, it is a must-read for researchers,
practitioners and educators working with children and young people
within the field of domestic violence and abuse. It will also be of
interest and value to policy makers who are reviewing legislation
and those involved in commissioning psychological services, and
victim services that work with child and adolescent victims.
Expands gendered understandings of intimate partner violence.
Challenges current practice in a critical, evidence-informed
manner. Offers recommendations to improve service provision and
practice for this victim group.

Since the 1970s the issue of intimate partner violence (IPV) has
been explained through the patriarchal desire of men to control and
dominate women, but this gendered perspective limits both our
understanding of IPV and its treatment. Intimate Partner Violence:
New Perspectives in Research and Practice is the first book of its
kind to present a detailed and rigorous critique of current
domestic violence research and practice within the same volume. In
this challenging new text, with contributions from the UK, the US,
and Canada, the subject is assessed from a more holistic position.
It provides a critical analysis of the issue of domestic violence
including issues that are often not part of the mainstream
discussion. Each of the chapters tackles a different area of
research or practice, from a critical review of contemporary topics
in domestic violence research, including a critical review of men's
use of violence in relationships, a consideration of male victims,
IPV within the LGBTQ+ community, perceptions of perpetrators and
victims, and IPV within adolescent populations. The second half of
the book examines challenges and opportunities for professionals
working in the field and includes an analysis of an evidence
informed perpetrator programme, the challenges faced working with
male victims, and a discussion of the impact of domestic violence
on children. Culminating with a series of evidence-based
recommendations to bridge the divide between academic and
practitioner stakeholders and to inform future working practices,
this is an essential resource for students and practitioners alike.
