It is an issue that cuts across all socioeconomic, racial, ethnic, gender, and age boundaries. This important book reviews the most current theoretical explanations of family violence and then links theory to practice. It looks at the systems and institutions that interact with families, which are mandated to provide protection and services, and explores the current debates surrounding family violence and public policy. In addition, Kurst-Swanger explores the role of power in abusive relationships and considers the short- and long-term consequences of abuse. This insightful book will be a practical resource for professionals and of interest to all those concerned with the far-reaching impact of family violence.
Kurst-Swanger (public justice, State U. of New York-Oswego) and Petcosky, a customer advocate for a utility company, begin by reviewing the problem of family violence and the theoretical explanations for the prevalence of abuse and neglect. Then they look at particular forms of domestic violence across the life span, and discuss intervention and prevention. Annotation (c) Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
