Abstract:

Provides the most current, empirically-based and realistic overview of policies and intervention methods, combining a rich array of perspectives by professors and scholars in the fields of social work, criminology, and clinical psychology. The book focuses on a full range of policies and programs which include case management service models, 24-hour hotlines and crisis intervention programs, social worker-police collaboration, mandated arrest of batterers, electronic technology, and group/play therapy for the children of battered women, methods which are all effective in breaking the inter-generational cycle of abuse.
