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.
