Biographical note
Edited by Mandy Burton, Professor of Socio-Legal Studies, Leicester Law School, University of Leicester, Vanessa Bettinson, Professor of Law, Kayliegh Richardson, Associate Professor and Ana Speed, Assistant Professor and Solicitor, Northumbria Law School, University of Northumbria, UK‘This international Handbook reviews the state of the law and practice regarding domestic abuse, particularly the increasing attention to coercive control, put on the international map by the remarkable, sadly deceased, Evan Stark. It is a valuable up-to-date compendium and overview on most of the key issues affecting victims, survivors and perpetrators whose cases appear in the legal system. While individual chapters focus on particular countries or states, these patterns and trends are largely universal. A must-read for anyone who wants to know what is happening in the law with regard to domestic violence.’
- Joan S. Meier, George Washington University Law School, US,
‘The Research Handbook on Domestic Violence and Abuse deserves to become a “go-to” text for students, academics, practitioners and policy-makers alike. Bringing together world-leading researchers to reflect on the experiences, opportunities and challenges associated with implementing responses to domestic abuse internationally, it provides a wealth of insight that can and should be used to improve access to justice across criminal and family court systems.’
- Vanessa E. Munro, University of Warwick, UK,
‘This magnificent, authoritative Handbook provides the reader a complete overview on the law on domestic violence and abuse. Scholarly, thoughtful and insightful, it will be the first port of call for scholars in the field.’
