Book Synopsis Rethinking Domestic Violence by : Donald G. Dutton
Book excerpt: This book calls for a new understanding of the causes of intimate partner violence, with consequences for its treatment and prevention. The author examines research on early personality development, personality disorders, police arrest records, and female offenders, to argue against a politicized feminist paradigm of male perpetrators and female victims, and the damaging impact this approach has had on police prosecution attitudes and treatment strategies.
