DIXON, Liz
Rethinking domestic violence : which way now? / Liz Dixon
Probation Journal, London, V.45,n.2(June 1998), p.92-94


VIOLÊNCIA FAMILIAR, VIOLÊNCIA

The letters pages of the last two issues of Probation Journal have seen a vigorous debate on approaches to domestic violence. Here, Liz Dixon, Probation Officer in Inner London and Lecturer in the School of Social Work at Brunel University College, offers an alternative perspective, and warns against any unhelpful polarisation in an important debate. She argues that for practitioners the crucial issue is not the theory per se, but its applicability to the realities of practice.
