Educational, offers practical help and lists of resources.,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Domestic Violence Sourcebook: Everything You Need to Know (Paperback)
"The Domestic Violence Sourcebook" offers a comprehensive look at the issues surrounding domestic violence. Historical, psychological, social, familial, and legal issues are each covered in separate chapters. Prevention and treatment is addressed near the end of the book, as well as guidelines for people who are affected. An up-to-date (1998) list of resources concludes the book.This book was invaluable to me as both an educational and a resource tool for graduate research into domestic violence and substance abuse. The material is well-organized and presented in an easily accessible format. The content is useful whether you're a researcher or a general reader. Five stars indeed.

Domestic Violence,
This review is from: Domestic Violence Sourcebook, The (Paperback)
Domestic Violence is one of the leading cause of deaths in the world. "Domestic violence is the maltreatment that takes place in the context of any romantic relationship that's being abused." ([...]). Domestic violence is a huge problem in today's households. Women and children lives in constant fear of not knowing athat what will happen next on a daily basis which also puts a strain on people who suffers from domestic abuse a higher risk in physically, mentally, and emotionally development. There are different types of domestic abuse such as: sexual, socio-economical, stalking, and spiritual abuse. The main common factors that triggers domestic violence is caused by control and power by men in the household, ego, financial status, trust, and jealousy. People who suffered from domestic violence struggled in their lives both personally and professionally due to their post syndrome effects they have experienced. Domestic violence is a tough growing crime and more attention needs to be focused about this epidemic and enforced stricter laws/consequences. This is an everlasting problem and it's time for the judicial system to realize the depth of this crime that affects in al perspectives of women, children, families, and communities. The laws of domestic violence really needs to be upheld and strictly enforced into the Supreme Court on each case because after all, the victims really needs is justice to served.
