Understanding Victims Of Interpersonal Violence: A Guide For Investigators And Prosecutors

Understanding Victim Response to Interpersonal Violence provides direct, accessible information for criminal justice personnel 'in the trenches' with the victims. It outlines interpersonal violence victims' decisions and action by providing context and factors that commonly impact victim responses, including internal factors such as culture, religion, shame, and personality, as well as external factors like access to services, support systems, and resources. These factors inhibit or facilitate responses like disclosure, resistance, contact with the offenders, and participation (or lack thereof) with prosecution. Designed for criminal justice students and practitioners, the text explains the influence of the perpetrator over the victim, the truth, and the community.
