The third in a series of books by Dutton reviews research on causes, incidence and policy toward domestic violence. The research crosses disciplinary lines, including social and clinical psychology, sociology, psychiatry, criminology, and criminal justice research. Numerous studies are reviewed and some earlier views regarding domestic violence are challenged. Treatment providers, criminal justice system personnel, lawyers, and researchers have indicated the need for a new view of the problem - one less invested in gender politics and more open to collaborative views and interdisciplinary insights.
