ABOUT THE BOOK
This volume addresses the varied response to domestic
violence in a comparative, international context. The chapters are laid
out in a consistent format, to cover: the nature of the domestic violence
problem, theoretical explanations, the criminal justice response, as well as
health care and social service interventions in each country. The intent of the
book is to provide an introduction to the attitudes and responses to domestic
violence in various regions, to provide meaningful comparisons and share
information on best practices for different populations and regions.
There are considerable variations to domestic violence
approaches across cultures and regions. In some places, it is considered a
“private” or “family” matter, which can help it perpetuate. At the same time,
the United States’ approach to domestic violence has been criticized by some as
being too focused on the criminal justice system, rather than other types of
interventions which aim to keep families intact.
This comprehensive work aims to highlight innovative approaches
from several regions, important cultural sensitivities and concerns, and
provide analysis to identify the strengths and weakness of various approaches.
This work will be of interest to researchers in criminology and criminal
justice, as well as related fields who deal with domestic violence and violence
against women, including sociology and social work, and international justice.
Practitioners and policymakers will also find it informative.
