Description
Domestic violence affects around 290,000 people in England and Wales every year. Whilst women are still unequivocally the gender most affected, it is now reported that 27% of abuse victims are men. There is also now an increasing awareness of other forms of hidden violence, such as teenage relationship abuse, parent abuse, forced marriages and violence in same-sex relationships. This book considers the issues, from intimate partner violence to abuse within the family unit, looking at the devastating effects on those involved and how the situation is being dealt with in the UK.
