This comprehensive new volume is a state-of-the-art compendium of the latest public policies, program developments, legal remedies, criminal justice responses, and treatment approaches for work with battered women and their children. This is the first book to include court-based technology developments and new research related to the duration and intensity of woman battering. Highlighting over 500 actual cases and promising programs, the Handbook of Domestic Violence Intervention Strategies also addresses important social work issues, including risk assessment protocols and a new five-level continuum of woman battering. This 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's 23 original chapters provide invaluable insights into the complexities and challenges of addressing domestic violence. It is recommended for students, clinicians, policymakers, and researchers in the fields of social work, victim services, hospital administration, mental health counseling, and legal advocacy. This volume is a critical resource for all professionals whose job it is to help abused women escape and remain free of violent relationships.
