Omschrijving
In the USA, law, policy, policing, and prevention work addressing domestic and intimate partner violence is created and enacted based on a violence model. This book takes a critical look at these misconceived notions and sheds light on multiple non-violent forms of controlling behavior that precipitate intimate partner homicide.
"Voices of Intimate Partner Homicide grew out of Dr. King’s dissertation. It is an important addition to the literature in the area as the depth of research exposes the seriousness of non-violent coercive control tactics and the part they may play as precursors to intimate partner homicide. Non-violent coercive control tactics must be included in the definition and as indicators of intimate partner homicide on lethality risk assessments.
Whether you are new to the study of intimate partner violence or have researched the area for years, by reading this book like me, you are bound to gain new insights into abusive relationships!"
Dr. Lin Huff-Corzine, Emerita Professor, Department of Sociology, University of Central Florida
"Voices of Intimate Partner Homicide by Donna King, Ph.D, J.D. is a "must read" for all domestic violence advocates. It's publication coincides with the unrolling of the White House National Plan to End Gender-Based Violence and will contribute substantially to the body of knowledge that will help to end family and intimate partner violence and murder."
Connie Valentine M.S, co-founder of California Protective Parents Association
"Systems interacting with targets of coercive controllers have skated along for a half-century, utilizing incomplete, outdated information to build stale practices, policies and laws that have done more to endanger than to help. Family courts, the ultimate gatekeepers for victim safety, are behind decades in utilizing the available obsolete information; lives are being snuffed out in the information gap.
Enter, “Voices of Intimate Partner Homicide,” the bible you didn’t know you need, to enumerate just how lethal coercive controllers are. The knowledge gained here is your “know better,” so you can “do better.” Lives everywhere are dependent on you doing just that."
Kathy Jones, Creator of The Maze of Coercive Control, Mother Justice Network
"Voices of Intimate Partner Homicide is one of the first of its kind to acknowledge and provide data regarding coercive control and its precursors to homicide in Domestic Violence. Domestic Violence is a complex and multidimensional issue and "Voices of Intimate Partner Homicide” brings darkness to light by providing extensive research on how coercive control is more dangerous than often acknowledged. A good read for those working with survivors, as well as those trying to create an understanding of Coercive Control."
