" "This volume focuses on the numerous advances in legal remedies, program developments, treatment protocols, and multidisciplinary perspectives. It is a guide to the latest research, public policies, federal and state legislation, and trends in police and court responses to domestic violence. It also includes court-based technology developments and new research related to the duration and intensity of woman battering. Highlighting actual cases and promising programs, the handbook addresses important social work issues, including risk assessment protocols, a new five-level continuum of woman battering, intervention methods, and treatment models. The book also examines the myriad legal issues and health problems facing the most neglected and vulnerable battered women. Written by expert practitioners and leading scholars, the book provides rich insights into the complexities and challenges of addressing domestic violence." " -From the Publisher
