REVIEW I:'This book is written in a style that is eminently clear and accessible throughout. The readers attention is drawn to the key debates in the academic literature at appropriate junctures, and in this respect, reference is made to a wide range of literature which can be consulted further by the reader.' -- Ronagh McQuigg, International Journal of Law, Policy and The Family, 2021REVIEW II:'[...], the book is clear, stimulating and incisive, and in its analysis of the human rights approach to domestic abuse, compelling.' -- Alex Ruck Keene, Mental Capacity Law and Policy, 2020REVIEW III:'[...], this book can be recommended to everyone who is interested in a structured approach to domestic abuse. Jonathan Herring succeeds in depicting the system behind this issue, regardless of whether the abuse constitutes violence against a partner, children, parents or the elderly. May it be read by many, so that the magnitude of domestic abuse will finally be understood and no longer seen as a problem occurring behind closed doors.' -- Isabella Noemi Raile, European Yearbook on Human Rights 2021, 2021
