First published in 1989, this book focuses on the policing of male
violence against women. It is an issue that has been criticised
substantially in the past, and the book shows how even police
themselves have sometimes admitted that women have received
inadequate treatment. The book includes contributions from North
America, Australia, and Western Europe and looks at different
approaches that have been taken by states in intervening into the
violence of men against women. Chapters explore the differences and
similarities of policing practices in western societies at the time
surrounding the book's original publication.
While men's violence to women is an everyday culturally supported activity, this reader demonstrates: that men's violence can be curtailed and that women and children can be assisted effectively; that state policies and provision can be improved; and that women can actively participate in the resolution of their difficulties. Bringing together new work and key papers Home Truths About Domestic Violence provides a comprehensive overview and up-to-date account of the progress so far, and identifies what still needs to be done. Areas covered include: * womens experience of violence * childrens experience of violence * personal experiences of the justice system * state policies on violence in the US and UK * educational programmes and initiatives. This substantial Reader makes a significant contribution to the understanding of domestic violence from both a policy and a practice perspective. Together with its companion volume Home Truths About Child Sexual Abuse it provides an in-depth resource for a wide range of teachers, students and professionals, highlighting the diverse and complex dimensions of the problem of domestic violence.
