Domestic Violence and Criminal Justice

Autor Lee E. Ross
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 oct 2024
Domestic Violence and Criminal Justice (Second Edition) offers readers an overview of domestic violence and its effects on society and includes helpful measures to curtail its rapid growth and widespread harm. Geared toward the criminal justice system, this newly revised and updated edition focuses on civil and criminal justice processes, from securing a restraining order to completing an arrest, to the final disposition.
Fostering critical thinking in readers, the book covers the extent and nature of domestic violence and intimate partner violence (IPV) in its many forms and delves into the systemic responses to such violence during the COVID-19 era. Going beyond exploring the reactive efforts of policing and prosecution, this edition offers an expanded emphasis on the underpinnings and effectiveness of prevention and intervention, including data on the operations and challenges of domestic violence shelters, and a much-needed focus on victim services, victim advocacy, and social work involvement.
This text is ideal for courses in criminal justice, criminology, social work, and sociology. Students will find this text readable, up-to-date, and rich in historical detail.

Recenzii

‘Lee Ross offers a much-needed comprehensive overview of the social scientific literature on one of the world's most compelling social problems. His offering is a valuable resource for students, researchers, teachers, policy makers, and practitioners. Much can be learned from reading this book and it is destined to be widely read and cited.’Walter S. DeKeseredy, West Virginia University‘The relevance of Domestic Violence and Criminal Justice cannot be overstated. The text offers an exceptionally wide examination of intimate partner violence pertinent to the contemporary study of criminal and social justice concerns. Lee Ross provides historical and theoretical overviews, presents a summary of law enforcement and prosecutorial responses, and offers insights for prevention from a public health perspective.’Deborah Heath-Thornton, Pennsylvania Department of Education
‘Lee Ross has written another comprehensive and well researched book, setting forth a national and local history of domestic violence. In Domestic Violence and Criminal Justice, Ross theorizes about the causes of domestic violence, police and judicial responses, and its dynamics within the GLBT-Q Community. More importantly, he addresses the process and goal of prevention. Without question, this book captures the readers’ attention, enabling them to recognize, intervene, and prevent various forms of domestic violence.’Judith L. Kinney, Attorney and Former Chief of Public Defenders, 18th Judicial Circuit, Florida
'Dr. Ross has successfully integrated criminal justice and criminology research, theory, and practice into a well-organized and practical book that will benefit students and others with an interest in understanding, analyzing, and reducing domestic violence. His interdisciplinary coverage provides a wealth of information not found in other books and I highly recommend this unique book to those who want to gain a greater understanding of domestic violence and the criminal justice system.'Mark A. Winton, University of Central Florida
'Dr. Ross’s book is a thorough, contemporary guide to understanding the global crisis of interpersonal violence. With its deep historical and theoretical grounding, this book can serve as a foundational text, not only for students, academics, and professionals in criminal justice, but for those in social work, public policy, and public health as well.'Rebecca Bonanno, SUNY Empire State College
