Over the past 40 years, considerable progress has been made in
lowering rates of domestic violence in our communities. This
progress has been uneven, however, due to continuing misconceptions
about the causes and dynamics of domestic violence, which include
an exaggerated focus on males as perpetrators and females as
victims, as well as a heavy-handed law enforcement response that
compromises the rights of criminal defendants without necessarily
reducing violence. Gender and Domestic Violence presents empirical
research findings and reform recommendations for prosecutors,
criminal defense attorneys, policy makers and intervention
providers with the aim of rectifying shortcomings in legal and law
enforcement responses to domestic violence. The volume's editors
and chapter authors confront the notion that certain beliefs shared
among victim advocates, legal actors, and other stakeholders -
principally that domestic violence is bound by gender, and is
primarily a crime against women - have led to the use of
ineffective and potentially harmful one-size-fits-all intervention
policies that can jeopardize defendant due process and victim
safety. Domestic violence experts, legal scholars, and practicing
attorneys present how gendered aspects of domestic violence affect
legal decision-making and practice and provide strategies for
becoming more inclusive in the adjudicative process,
intervention/prevention, and practice. Gender and Domestic
Violence: Contemporary Legal Practice and Intervention Reforms
provides the foundation from which we can begin to move beyond the
gender paradigm by recognizing disparities and applying tools that
improve research, policing, and practice, allowing us to progress
toward eradicating domestic violence, and to move closer to
equality.
