The text offers an exceptionally wide examination of intimate partner violence pertinent to the contemporary study of criminal and social justice concerns. Lee Ross provides historical and theoretical overviews, presents a summary of law enforcement and prosecutorial responses, and offers insights for prevention from a public health perspective.' - Deborah Heath-Thornton, Pennsylvania Department of Education 'Lee Ross has written another comprehensive and well researched book, setting forth a national and local history of domestic violence. In Domestic Violence and Criminal Justice, Ross theorizes about the causes of domestic violence, police and judicial responses, and its dynamics within the GLBT-Q Community. More importantly, he addresses the process and goal of prevention.
