Each chapter then takes a chronological approach in examining relationships between victim and perpetrator in the most prominent types of domestic homicide. Drawing on the empirical evidence, it offers a unique insight into the dynamics of domestic homicides, and debunks some of the common stereotypes surrounding it. The book concludes with an overview of the main areas of prevention of domestic homicide and offers recommendations for professionals working in domestic violence services, medical practitioners, and mental health services.This book will be of interest to criminologists, psychologists, psychiatrists and sociologists alike, and will be key reading for a range of courses on violence, abuse and aggression.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
