"The multifaceted aspect of domestic violence as a criminal
justice, economic, public health, community, and human rights
problem . . . creates sites of conversations across these
axes."

"[Goodmark] reminds us that expanding our perspectives of what
interventions could look like are 'worth exploring.' . . . Readers
will likely take away a great deal from this book, but at the very
least, they will close the book with an expanded sense of what may
be possible."
