Opis

In the USA, law, policy, policing, and prevention work addressing domestic and intimate partner violence is created and enacted based on a violence model. This book takes a critical look at these misconceived notions and sheds light on multiple non-violent forms of controlling behavior that precipitate intimate partner homicide. 

Recenzje

"Voices of Intimate Partner Homicide grew out of Dr. King’s dissertation. It is an important addition to the literature in the area as the depth of research exposes the seriousness of non-violent coercive control tactics and the part they may play as precursors to intimate partner homicide. Non-violent coercive control tactics must be included in the definition and as indicators of intimate partner homicide on lethality risk assessments.

Whether you are new to the study of intimate partner violence or have researched the area for years, by reading this book like me, you are bound to gain new insights into abusive relationships!"

Lin Huff-Corzine, Emeritus Professor, Department of Sociology, University of Central Florida

"Voices of Intimate Partner Homicide by Donna King, Ph.D, J.D. is a "must read" for all domestic violence advocates. It's publication coincides with the unrolling of the White House National Plan to End Gender-Based Violence and will contribute substantially to the body of knowledge that will help to end family and intimate partner violence and murder."

Connie Valentine M.S, co-founder of California Protective Parents Association
