Making an Impact – Children and Domestic Violence: A Reader, 2nd Edition

This fully updated Reader provides a comprehensive review of recent research and legislation relating to domestic violence and its consequences for children, and identifies the implications for practice. It is divided into three parts. Part One describes evidence for the links between domestic violence and the concomitant abuse of children and assesses the effects on children’s future well-being. Part Two is a comprehensive and accessible guide to relevant current criminal and civil legislation. Highlighting the success of multi-agency approaches, the final part details practical issues for interventions with children and their carers, male perpetrators, and, new to this edition, women. Endorsed by children’s charities including the NSPCC and Barnardo’s, Making an Impact enables professionals working with children to develop informed, sophisticated and collaborative child care and protection responses for children who are experiencing domestic violence.Making an Impact – Children and Domestic Violence: A Reader 2nd Edition is written by Chris Pearson; Nicola Harwin; Marianne Hester and published by Jessica Kingsley Publishers.
