Title: Domestic violence
First published: 1990
Description: "The Third Edition includes a wealth of new empirical research on how the criminal justice system's responses to domestic violence have changed in the last several years. As prominent authorities in the field, the authors offer a balanced view and critical analysis of the new data and findings as well as of the current and potential impact of these changes.

In accordance with the sweeping changes undertaken by the criminal justice system, the text includes significant expansion of coverage on efforts made by prosecutors' offices and the courts. Also, this new edition includes strategies to protect victims through victim advocacy and other services.".

"For the last decade, Domestic Violence: The Criminal Justice Response has been a key reference for law schools, police departments, legal practitioners, and policymakers as well as for students and researchers in the fields of Criminal Justice, Criminology, Women's Studies, Family Law, Sociology, Psychology, and Social Work/Counseling. This volume is an essential addition to curriculums, libraries, and reference resources serving this important area of study and practice."--BOOK JACKET.
