Beskrivning
In this volume, the authors present an overview of the innovative work taking place in relation to domestic violence and child protection. This book looks at new prevention initiatives and how interventions for children exposed to domestic violence have been developed. It shows how services for abusive fathers have evolved and provides discussion and critique of a number of new initiatives in the field of interagency risk assessment. With international perspectives and examples drawn from social care, health care and voluntary sectors, this book brings together established ideas with recent thinking to provide an authoritative summary of current domestic violence and child protection practice.As a valuable source of guidance on how to work safely with children living with domestic violence, this is a key reference for social workers, health professionals and policy makers.

Recensioner i media

In this edited volume Stanley and Humphreys set out to revisit the issue of children and domestic violence by facilitating a role for the voices of the young people and discussions of their own abusive relationships alongside the more familiar debates of abuse within families. This collection moves beyond a discourse of protecting the 'vulnerable', instead placing young people's agency and their participation at the centre of understanding and theorising about domestic violence, whilst heralding the call for collaborative action. They also highlight the innovative and extensive agency response that has broadened since their previous volume. This work provides an important resource, based upon contemporary and relevant research, for those already working in the field, for undergraduate and post graduates as well as other academics.
