Editorial Reviews

Review

'Audrey Mullender's book will satisfy a very real need for reading material in this area ... contains a lot of information which will be of practical value to practioners and managers ... deserves to be widely read.' - Journal of Social Policy

'A thoroughly readable, cogently argued and highly informative text which has broadened my understanding of the issues immensely ... Mullender is to be praised for managing to tackle the conceptual ambiguity surrounding the topic without deflecting from the persistence, prevalence and seriousness of domestic abuse. The breadth and scope of Rethinking Domestic Violence should make it compulsory reading for those immersed in practice, as well as those new to the field.' - Journal of Social Welfare and Family Law
