Reviews

"This up-to-date book is at once pathbreaking and practical, comprehensive and insightful... If the goal is to save lives, to prevent domestic violence injuries, and to secure justice, the Handbook of Intervention Strategies in Domestic Violence is a must-read." --Criminal Justice Library
"The word 'handbook' does not fully capture this incredibly comprehensive survey of the field of domestic violence, including what we know, current practices, and challenges across the professions. This book would be an excellent sourcebook for domestic violence courses in social work, criminal justice, law schools, and undergraduate departments."--Joan S. Meier, J.D., Director, Domestic Violence Clinics, and Professor of Clinical Law, George Washington
University Law School, Washington, DC
"This is the text for which I have been searching. The chapters are timely, relevant, and deal with many of the key intervention strategies in domestic violence. This book will be of special value to law, social work, and criminal justice students and practitioners. If you are going to purchase one book on domestic violence this year, this should be the one. I expect it to become a classic."--Charles Lindner, J.D., M.S.W., Professor, Department of Law,
Police Science, and Criminal Justice, John Jay College of Criminal Justice, City University of New York
"This book represents a tremendous achievement in integration of knowledge in the field. It is a text that is practical for students and practitioners. The book makes a great contribution to practice knowledge. It is the most illuminating and practical volume on domestic violence published in the last 20 years. It is must reading for all social workers."--Cynthia G.S. Franklin, Ph.D., Professor and Coordinator of Clinical Social Work concentration, School
of Social Work, University of Texas at Austin and Editor-in-Chief, Children and Families journal
"Finally, a proactive approach to domestic violence geared toward both practitioners and academicians. A must-read for all service providers whether a novice or expert in the field. Roberts has assembled a comprehensive, multidisciplinary team of contributors to produce a scholarly reader that has the potential to impact domestic violence policy."--Laura J. Moriarty, Ph.D., Professor Criminal Justice and Assistant Dean, College of Humanities and Sciences,
Virginia Commonwealth University
"Dr. Roberts has succeeded in bringing together the work of senior researchers and clinicians in this outstanding and comprehensive volume on domestic violence. The book includes descriptions of innovative programs and practical interventions for victims and perpetrators of domestic violence and the children who witness the conflicts, illustrated with compelling cases examples and grounded in a review of the latest research. I would recommend this book
without hesitation as an outstanding example of evidence-based practice, both to experienced practitioners wishing to stay up-to-date with policy, practice and research, and to students reading their first
book on the subject."--Cheryl Regehr, Ph.D., C.S.W., Associate Professor, Faculty of Social Work and Director, Centre for Applied Social Research, University of Toronto, Canada
