Domestic Violence: Tragedy and Hope

Domestic Violence: Tragedy and Hope WALK A MILE IN HER SHOES: Beginning with a discussion of the magnitude of the problem of domestic violence, the authors present a fictional narrative of Suzanne, whose relationship with her intimate partner dissolves into abuse and violence, both physical and emotional. What follows is expert commentary on her story by law enforcement, a judge and former district attorney, victim advocate, therapist, and survivor, which provide a unique exploration of the tragedy of abuse and potential means by which it can be addressed. The main theme of the book is the tendency to blame the victim for staying in an abusive relationship and the need to understand why leaving can be so difficult and dangerous.
