This new edition of the bestselling Responding to Domestic Violence explores the response to domestic violence today, not only by the criminal justice system, but also by public and nonprofit social service and health care agencies. After providing a brief theoretical overview of the causes of domestic violence and its prevalence in our society, the authors cover such key topics as barriers to intervention, variations in arrest practices, the role of state and federal legislation, and case prosecution. Focusing on both victims and offenders, the book includes unique chapters on models for judicial intervention, domestic violence and health, and children and domestic violence. In addition, this edition provides an indepth discussion of the concept of coercive control in domestic violence and its importance in understanding victim needs. Finally, this volume includes international perspectives in order to broaden the readers understanding of alternative responses to the problem of domestic violence.

This book is packed with useful information regarding domestic violence response strategies. The theories are explained well, and I appreciated the multi-disciplinary approach. Definitely worth adding to your collection if you're in this line of work.

Essential for advocates and lawyers
As a domestic violence advocate, I think this book is essential for anyone working in this field. The details on how criminal justice interacts with human services are spot on. It’s helping me in my work every day!

Helpful, but could use more examples
While I found the integration of services discussed in this book helpful, I wish there were more practical examples. It’s informative, but sometimes it gets a bit theoretical for my taste. Still a good read for those in the field!

Came a bit later than expected
I found the book itself very enlightening, but it did take a while to arrive. Not a huge deal, but I was hoping to start my reading sooner. The content is rich, especially the integration of different services.

A crucial resource for understanding dynamics
This book dives deep into the interplay between criminal justice and human services regarding domestic violence. It’s perfect for my graduate studies. The case studies provide real-world insight and the integration aspects are particularly valuable for my research.
