Overview
- Considers the emergence of 'tenacious' domestic abuse prosecutions within the context of the women's movement, feminist scholarship and an era of neoliberalism
- Explores the prosecution commitment on the one hand, and the impact on women's lives on the other
- Offers a distinctive normative conceptual framework through which practitioners may think about women who have experienced domestic abuse that will have both intellectual appeal and practical application
