Intimate partner violence, also known as domestic violence, has threatened the health and safety of individuals throughout the history of human relationships. While efforts by the criminal justice system to hold perpetrators accountable emerged in the last century, scholarship and recognition of the short- and long-term impacts on the health and well-being of victims and survivors is still a fairly recent development. Intimate Partner Violence: A Health-Based Perspective provides comprehensive, well-cited information for researchers, educators, practitioners, and policy leaders on the complex social and health threats of intimate partner violence. Written by leading scholars in the field, the chapters are organized around historical and policy perspectives, social justice constructs, trauma science, health impacts, intervention, and prevention strategies. This comprehensive guide informs both new inquiry and improved practice by professionals in the public health, health care, and social sciences, and serves as a one-stop resource for professionals who need evidence-based insight and guidance.
