This book complements 'In the Privacy of the Home' and provides students and practitioners with a well-focused collection of texts dealing with areas such as violence against women, child abuse, abuse of the elderly and violence against the mentally ill. It is divided into sections with an emphasis on causes and responses, with some attention being paid to history, law and management problems. The Reader sets out to combine the accessible and the inaccessible and in addition to articles contains detailed bibliographies and lists of further reading.
