| Description: |
Argues that only by understanding the psychology of both the aggressors and the victims of wife assault can we generate informed social and criminal justice policy. |
| Synopsis: |
The Domestic Assault of Women relates social and criminaljustice policy to empirically tested social psychological theory aboutthe causes and effects of wife assault. Donald G. Dutton argues thatonly by understanding the psychology of both the aggressors and thevictims of wife assault can we generate informed social and criminaljustice policy. By linking the psychological factors that supportassaultive habits to police arrest policy and subsequent treatment,Dutton shows how police/therapist intervention can interrupt assaultivebehaviour and prevent recidivism.This edition has been thoroughly revised to reflect current work inthe field. More figures, including recently developed scales and datasets, have been added to increase its usefulness. |
