Violence, Inequality and Change The Potential and Peril of Reviewing Domestic Abuse-Related Deaths, (Paperback)

<p>Considering the potential and peril of Domestic Abuse-Related Death Reviews (DARDRs) in England and Wales as a way of learning from domestic abuserelated deaths, this book examines what DARDRs - first known as Domestic Homicide Reviews (DHRs) - are understood as being for, what is used by and in DARDRs, and how DARDRs are themselves used.</p><p>Drawing on rich empirical data, this text combines information gathered from published DARDRs as well as from the experiences of stakeholders, including representatives from organisations who had contact with a victim, and those who knew them personally. This analysis is further underpinned by the author's distinct perspective as a practitioner, which includes having led DARDRs as an independent chair. Setting out an approach that frames the review of domestic abuse-related deaths as a means of achieving justice, the book addresses best practice in making sense of domestic abuse-related deaths, the efforts to drive practice, policy and systems change, and the memorialisation of victims, with a view to improving responses to domestic abuse for all victims, survivors and, perhaps, to prevent future deaths.</p><p><em>The Potential and Peril of Reviewing Domestic Abuse- Related Deaths </em>will be of great interest to students and scholars of criminology, social work, and sociology, as a way of understanding the policy and practice of trying to make sense of and respond to domestic abuse-related deaths.</p>
