This book examines legal responses to domestic violence in a holistic, systematic and integrated way. In England and Wales, as in other jurisdictions, much attention has been paid to the criminal justice response to domestic violence. The response of the civil justice system has not been ignored, but has been somewhat marginalised. "Legal Responses to Domestic Violence" takes a systematic approach to examining legal responses, encompassing the full range of decision makers within the legal system to analyse developments in substantive law and practice in all areas.
