Victim Advocacy in the Courtroom: Persuasive Practices in Domestic Violence and Child Protection Cases (Northeastern Series on Gender, Crime, and Law)
“Schuster and Propen report one of the most comprehensive studies to date on victim statements in court and the work of advocates who help abused women’s and children’s voices be heard. Their work is deeply grounded in an innovative court watch program and uses extensive interviews, observations and court documents to argue that the way victims voices are heard in court many times shapes the outcomes of domestic violence and child abuse cases. Their unique view and clear writing makes this an interesting read.” (Jeffrey L. Edleson, University of Minnesota)
