Drawing on international research and practice, this fully updated new edition of Domestic and Family Violence: A Critical Introduction to Knowledge and Practice examines current debates and research evidence around domestic and family violence, including sexual violence, non-fatal strangulation, and coercive control and explores current legislative reforms.
Taking an intersectional perspective, it addresses the deepening gender debate surrounding Domestic and Family Violence and evolving construct of masculinity, new LGBTIQA+ research, and adolescent violence. It also examines victim challenges - including new research on male victimisation - support requirements, and implications for holistic service responses.
Domestic and Family Violence provides a necessary update and will be an important resource to students and scholars of criminology, sociology, and social work engaged in studies of domestic and family violence.
