Why, then, do reactions and response differ so widely throughout the world? While some countries work diligently to address the matter through prevention and training, others take a 'hands-off' approach in their response. This book is one of the first to investigate domestic violence on a global scale and provides best practices gleaned from various countries around the world to paint a detailed picture of how police response to domestic violence is currently being conducted and provide training bodies with up-to-date information to enhance current curricula. Domestic Violence in International Context brings together expert scholars native to twelve different countries to examine the history and scope of domestic violence and how it is being addressed, repressed or ignored in their thirteen respective countries. Their specialised knowledge and unique data come together to create a series of snapshots that will guide nations, societies and communities worldwide in formulating effective strategies to prevent, intervene and combat this epidemic, and examine partnerships and programmes already in place. This book is essential reading for practitioners, policy makers, and human rights organisations, as well as students and scholars of criminology, social work, sociology and law. 410 0$aRoutledge studies in crime and society ;$v27. 606 $aFamily violence 606 $aVictims of family violence 606 $aPolice$xAttitudes 615 0$aFamily violence. 615 0$aVictims of family violence. 615 0$aPolice$xAttitudes. 676 $a362.82/92 701 $aBruns$b Diana L$0869470 701 $aSchroeder$b Julie A$0869471 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910155245403321 996 $aDomestic violence in international context$91941231 997 $aUNINA
