Böcker av Russell P. Dobash

This book is based on the evaluation of British criminal justice responses and treatment programmes for men who use violence against a woman partner. Court enforced abuser programmes are compared with more traditional sanctions such as fines and probation.

Demonstates how refuges and shelters stand at the core of the battered women's movement, and how the movement has challenged the police, courts and social services to provide greater assistance to women in both Britain and the US.
