The book is aimed at a wide audience: academics, researchers, students, practitioners and policy makers. The contributors, academic researchers of Nordic origin or residence, have drawn on material from Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden. The book offers children's views, professional perspectives and responses to the issues, and legal and policy approaches. There is a focus on the link between violence to women and violence to children. The final chapter by Hester presents lesson for the United Kingdom. Hester notes in the conclusion that there are some persistent problems in Nordic countries which have parallels in the English context. Hester concludes that a major challenge in responding to men's domestic violence and ensuring women and children's safety is overcoming the fragmentation of responses and contradictions between criminalising perpetrators and supporting victims, child protection and custody/parental responsibility and contact.
