Abused and battered

Description:

That family violence injures and kills its victims both physically and psychologically was established over two decades ago by early researchers in this field. This book heralds the second generation of domestic abuse research: it examines the implications of the legal and social responses to both victims and offenders by systematically addressing the intended and unintended consequences of programs and procedures designed to ameliorate the effects of spousal and child abuse.
