Beschreibung:
This book explores young men and domestic abuse: their experiences of it as victims, witnesses and perpetrators, what they think about it, and what they want done about it. Co-authored by leading figures in the fields of criminology, psychology and social work, this text draws on the findings of three new research projects to answer questions about how domestic abuse among young people is best conceptualised; why some young people perpetrate it, how some develop resilience to it; and how practitioners and policymakers should respond to it.
