- This 172-page book analyses research undertaken by the authors with multi-agency frontline professionals and domestic abuse and homicide victims. Its analysis re-conceptualises the female victim, arguing for and providing tools to support a deeper understanding of the emotional dynamics and social structures which perpetuate violence. The book goes on to provide enhanced safety management tools for professionals, offering solutions to the ways forward in policy and practice. This includes a detailed domestic abuse first responder toolkit that was rolled-out to multiple police forces across the UK, to NHS trusts, and a to wide range of other health and multi-agency staff.
