Research Handbook on Domestic Violence and Abuse

Edited by Mandy Burton, Vanessa Bettinson, Kayliegh Richardson and Ana Speed

in Books from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: This Research Handbook examines the evolution of understandings and legal definitions of domestic abuse, illustrating the importance of expanding these beyond physical violence to encompass coercive control. Drawing on academic literature, legal doctrine and the lived experiences of victims and survivors, it highlights how responses to domestic abuse can be improved in civil, family and criminal justice systems.
