5.0 out of 5 stars Educational, offers practical help and lists of resources., July 21, 1998

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.

There are different types of domestic abuse such as: sexual, socio-economical, stalking, and spiritual abuse.

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.
