Rezensionen

"In a field that too often substitutes myth for fact, Erica Bowen
has written an immensely thoughtful and well-researched book ...
Bowen gives a critical and balanced review of the research on
incidence and typologies of DV perpetrators, changes to the
criminal justice response, and theories of causality."
