| Sumario: | "This Research Handbook examines the evolution of understandings and legal definitions of domestic abuse, illustrating the importance of expanding these beyond physical violence to encompass coercive control. Drawing on academic literature, legal doctrine and the lived experiences of victims and survivors, it highlights how responses to domestic abuse can be improved in civil, family and criminal justice systems. Through an analysis of global legal developments, contributing authors identify failures in the handling of domestic abuse and provide expert insight into how to address these. They focus in particular on the law and processes for obtaining protection orders across jurisdictions, and the handling of domestic abuse in financial and child arrangement proceedings following the breakdown of a relationship. Chapters also cover key issues such as LGBTQ+ intimate partner violence, the prosecution and sentencing of domestic abuse and defences for victims/survivors. The Research Handbook emphasises the importance of effective legal responses to domestic abuse in fulfilling human rights treaty obligations. The Research Handbook on Domestic Violence and Abuse is an essential resource for scholars and students of family law, criminal law, criminal justice and social policy. It is also an important guide for legal professionals seeking to sensitively handle cases involving domestic abuse"-- |
