Description
The Routledge International Handbook of Domestic Violence and Abuse provides an essential resource for understanding domestic violence and abuse. Drawing on contemporary research from around the world, this comprehensive handbook explores the causes and effects of domestic violence, as well as effective responses to support adult and child victims, and those who act abusively towards their partners. Divided into seven parts, the book covers a range of topics, including theoretical perspectives, manifestations, and responding to domestic violence. It is an invaluable resource for academics, students, and policy professionals working in fields such as social work, sociology, criminology, and gender studies. This handbook offers a nuanced understanding of domestic violence, acknowledging its universality while also recognizing the importance of local cultures and contexts.
