This book makes an important contribution to the international
understanding of domestic violence and shares the latest knowledge
of what causes and sustains domestic violence between intimate
partners, as well as the effectiveness of responses in working with
adult and child victims, and those who act abusively towards their
partners. Drawing upon a wide range of contemporary research from
across the globe, it recognises that domestic violence is both
universal, but also shaped by local cultures and contexts. Divided
into seven parts: * Introduction. * Theoretical perspectives on
domestic violence and abuse. * Domestic violence and abuse across
the life-course. * Manifestations of domestic violence and abuse. *
Responding to domestic violence and abuse. * Researching domestic
violence and abuse. * Concluding thoughts. It will be of interest
to all academics and students working in social work, allied
health, sociology, criminology and gender studies as well as policy
professionals looking for new approaches to the subject.
This is the first book to explore the interplay of disability,
gender and violence over the life course from researcher,
practitioner and survivor perspectives. It gives due weight to the
accounts of disabled children and adults who have survived
institutional or individual violence, evidencing barriers to
recognition, disclosure and reporting. Written by disabled and
non-disabled women from around the world, Disability, Gender and
Violence over the Life Course addresses the dearth of voices and
experiences of disabled women and girls in empirical research,
policy and practice on issues of violence, victimisation,
protection, support and prevention. Divided into three parts -
Childhood, Adulthood and Older Life - this collection offers
diverse perspectives on the intersectionality of disability, age,
ethnicity, sexuality and violence that have hitherto been absent.
This book will be an invaluable resource for students and
practitioners of multiple fields of practice and academic studies,
including health and social care, nursing, social work, childhood
studies, gender studies, disability studies, safeguarding and child
protection, equality and human rights, sociology and criminology.

This edited book brings together the voices and insights of
survivors, practitioners, educators and researchers working to
prevent and minimise the harms of gender-based violence, with a
specific focus on equipping health professionals and social workers
to support victim-survivors. Practitioners can, and often do, play
a critical role supporting victim-survivors of gender-based
violence; however, this work has historically been carried out by
those in specialist roles and there remains gaps and
inconsistencies in education and training for qualifying and
post-qualified professionals. This book makes a valuable
contribution to addressing these gaps. It provides practitioners
with a comprehensive resource on contemporary debates and research
in the field of gender-based violence. To support readers'
learning, each chapter contains reflective exercises and draws
clear links between research, theory and practice. The book is
structured into four sections. The first section considers the
'rise' of gender-based violence in policy and practice, and
questions to what extent this once marginalised perspective has
become embedded in health and social work training and education.
The second section of the book explores some of the expressions,
contexts and implications of gender-based violence. Each chapter
considers the role of health care professionals and social workers
and invites the reader to reflect on their (potential) role in
these areas. The third section of the collection focuses on one of
the most common forms of gender-based violence that health and
social work professionals are likely to encounter: physical,
psychological, sexual and financial violence by an intimate
partner, who may also be a parent. Finally, the fourth section
showcases innovative responses to supporting victim-survivors and
challenging systems that contribute to gender inequality. The
intention of this book is to equip health care professionals and
social workers with critical, practical and ethical resources to
help them work with victim-survivors and, where possible, engage in
transformative efforts to end the harms of gendered inequalities
and violence.
