Handbook of Loss Prevention and Crime Prevention, Sixth Edition: Chapter 32 - Domestic violence, take a stand against violence

This chapter does not begin to touch on the effects of domestic violence or the factors involved, nor does it give all the options or answers to steps taken by the judicial system. Instead it is sending the message that the problem is not a private family matter, but everybody’s problem. Society is beginning to respond to the psychological needs of all parties involved, such as the abuser, abused, and the children.
