Increased understanding of the scale and ubiquity of domestic violence and abuse has strengthened policy and practice internationally and across the UK, however large-scale data that captures the experiences of mothers and children remains scarce. Valeria Skafida’s incisive and comprehensive discussion of survey methods and findings exposes the thinking and assumptions that have shaped our knowledge; she challenges us to answer such questions as: ‘How do I put those who perpetrate abuse back in the narrative?’ and to recognise how structural factors, particularly poverty, intersect with families’ experiences of domestic violence and abuse. This book is essential reading for all those studying, researching or working in the field of domestic violence and abuse. The clarity and accessibility of the discussion of survey methods will be appreciated by anyone wanting to strengthen their grasp of quantitative research.
