Summary:

Intimate partner violence, also known as domestic violence, has threatened the health & safety of individuals throughout the history of human relationships. While efforts by the criminal justice system to hold perpetrators accountable emerged in the last century, scholarship & recognition of the short- & long-term impacts on the health & well-being of victims & survivors is still a fairly recent development. This book provides comprehensive, well-cited information for researchers, educators, practitioners, & policy leaders on the complex social & health threats of intimate partner violence. Written by leading scholars in the field, the chapters are organized around historical & policy perspectives, social justice constructs, trauma science, health impacts, intervention, & prevention strategies.
