Description
For the latest information on family violence, there is no better resource than the second edition of this landmark volume. Thoroughly revised and updated, the volume examines the significant changes in our understanding of family violence, its antecedents, its correlates and its consequences since 1985. Topics covered include long-term effects of violence on survivors, arrest as a deterrent to violence, wife-battering, sibling violence, child and elder abuse; the volume also discusses some well-known cases, such as the Steinberg/Nussbaum trial.
