This book presents a variety of socio-legal perspectives on
issues of domestic violence and abuse. Focussing on
contemporary research and practice developments in policing,
law, statutory and voluntary sectors, the contributors to this
volume cover a vast spectrum of initiatives and professional
expertise concerned variably with protection, prevention and
intervention priorities.The challenges of “joined up” thinking across these
perspectives are apparent as the varied definitions, underpinning
ideologies, terminologies, the profile of the victim/survivor’s
voice and identified gaps in service provision appearing in this
book illustrate. As a reflection on the current economic climate,
some of the perspectives presented necessarily compete rather
than complement each other, an issue the volume highlights and
addresses. Achieving a broader understanding of these issues
and insights into a range of activity in this context is vital
for both the practitioner and academic alike, whatever their
perspective.
