The Domestic Assault of Women : Psychological and Criminal Justice Perspectives Paperback / softback
by Donald G. Dutton
Paperback / softback
- Information
Description
The Domestic Assault of Women relates social and criminal justice policy to empirically tested social psychological theory about the causes and effects of wife assault.
Donald G. Dutton argues that only by understanding the psychology of both the aggressors and the victims of wife assault can we generate informed social and criminal justice policy.
By linking the psychological factors that support assaultive habits to police arrest policy and subsequent treatment, Dutton shows how police/therapist intervention can interrupt assaultive behaviour and prevent recidivism. This edition has been thoroughly revised to reflect current work in the field.
More figures, including recently developed scales and data sets, have been added to increase its usefulness.
