Inspired by the dialogue between practitioners and academics of
nearly thirty countries, this edited volume includes updated
articles on global crime prevention initiatives and best practices
in building community resilience presented at the International
Police Executive Symposium's (IPES) 25th annual meeting in Sofia,
Bulgaria in 2014. A new book in the highly-regarded IPES
Co-Publications series, Global Perspectives on Crime Prevention and
Community Resilience offers strategies for crime and violence
prevention and community initiatives for crime reduction, while
promoting current best practices for police effectiveness, safety,
and professionalism. The book includes eighteen chapters from
police leaders, practitioners and academics around the world in
efforts to demonstrate effective strategies for the prevention of
crime and innovative techniques in assisting crime victims. In an
increasingly global reality, this text gives voice to valuable
members of the international policing community.
* Offers an international and intersectional view of interpersonal
violence and responses to it * Suitable for a wide range of
scholars and students in the disciplines of criminal justice, law,
human rights, social justice, social work, nursing, criminology,
sociology, nursing, medicine, and political or public affairs *
Devotes special attention to developing countries where there is
lack of a consistent legal definition of domestic violence and
where violence against women is widely considered as a private
matter
Domestic violence does not discriminate and is prevalent throughout
the word regardless of race, age or socio-economic status. Why,
then, do reactions and response differ so widely throughout the
world? While some countries work diligently to address the matter
through prevention and training, others take a 'hands-off' approach
in their response. This book is one of the first to investigate
domestic violence on a global scale and provides best practices
gleaned from various countries around the world to paint a detailed
picture of how police response to domestic violence is currently
being conducted and provide training bodies with up-to-date
information to enhance current curricula. Domestic Violence in
International Context brings together expert scholars native to
twelve different countries to examine the history and scope of
domestic violence and how it is being addressed, repressed or
ignored in their thirteen respective countries. Their specialised
knowledge and unique data come together to create a series of
snapshots that will guide nations, societies and communities
worldwide in formulating effective strategies to prevent, intervene
and combat this epidemic, and examine partnerships and programmes
already in place. This book is essential reading for practitioners,
policy makers, and human rights organisations, as well as students
and scholars of criminology, social work, sociology and law.
