Download Prosecuting Domestic Abuse in Neoliberal Times Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
This book argues that past inattentive treatment by state criminal justice agencies in relation to domestic abuse is now being self-consciously reversed by neoliberal governing agendas intent on denouncing crime and holding offenders to account. Criminal prosecutions are key to the UK government’s strategy to end Violence Against Women and Girls. Crown Prosecution Service policy affirms that domestic abuse offences are ‘particularly serious’ and prosecutors are reminded that it will be rare that the ‘public interest’ will not require of such offences through the criminal courts. Seeking to unpick some of the discourses and perspectives that may have contributed to the current prosecutorial commitment, the book considers its emergence within the context of the women’s movement, feminist scholarship and an era of neoliberalism. Three empirical chapters explore the prosecution commitment on the one hand, and the impact on women’s lives on the other. The book’s final substantive chapter offers a distinctive normative conceptual framework through which practitioners may think about women who have experienced domestic abuse that will have both intellectual appeal and practical application.

Download Prosecuting Domestic Violence: A Review of Current Policy, Research, and Practice Initiatives Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
This paper describes current innovations developed or used by prosecutors as applied specifically towards domestic violence. Both the increasing demand for a more effective criminal justice system response to domestic violence and the changing role of the prosecutor have fostered the development and implementation of many innovative strategies for dealing with the unique issues and problems related to domestic violence. After discussing the history of domestic violence prosecution and its influence on the changing role of the prosecutor, the paper reviews four general types of initiatives currently employed by prosecutors specific to domestic violence cases. Each is described in terms of its prevalence, advantages, limitations, and relative success. General limitations and constraints inherent to domestic violence, prosecution, and policy evaluation are also discussed. Finally, policy recommendations relative to current research and practice are presented. Given the lack of conclusive research and the variability among jurisdictions, prosecutors must often rely on their own evaluations in measuring the effectiveness of their programs. While most innovations are tested largely only through direct implementation, continued research is certainly warranted, and should be undertaken in conjunction with the most promising practices.

Download Abetting Batterers Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Whatever the number, domestic violence victims remain far too many for a preventable crime. More and more victims of intimate partner violence are reaching out to police, prosecutors and judges only to be sorely disappointed, even betrayed. While laws and programs have multiplied over the last few decades to address domestic violence, the country is getting safer for almost everyone except for women who have, or have had, abusive male intimate partners. Andrew R. Klein and Jessica L. Klein look at the criminal justice response to domestic violence across America today, ranging from police to prosecutors and courtrooms across the nation. Abetting Batterers reveals the troubling pattern of inattention and incompetence that compromises the safety of women and encourages their male abusers to continue their abuse and violence. Although criminal justice system agencies vary among cities, towns and counties within the same state they all too often relegate domestic violence to the backburners of the system, dismissing victims and ignoring even the most serious and chronic abusers. The variation reveals the real problem in preventing intimate partner violence lies in these agencies’ commitment and will, rather than their ability to do the job. The authors unveil what is working in regard to protecting victims of domestic violence and holding their abusers accountable, and they suggest strategies for ensuring that what is being done right can be replicated and become the law and practice across the nation. The wide variation in how intimate partner violence is handled by similar jurisdictions demonstrates the real problem in preventing it lies in these agencies’ commitment, rather than ability to do the job. This book proves to be invaluable in understanding what is and is not being done in the reality of domestic violence in America.
