1st Edition
by Clive Hollin (Author)
There are many types of
interpersonal violence that can lead to short- and long-term physical
and psychological effects on those involved. Reducing Interpersonal Violence reflects
on the World Health Organization’s stance that interpersonal violence
is a public health problem and considers what steps can realistically be
taken towards its reduction.
Clive Hollin examines interpersonal
violence across a range of settings, from bullying at school and in the
workplace, smacking children and partner violence in the home, to
sexual and other forms of criminal violence in the community. This book
summarises the research on evidence-based strategies to reduce violence
and shows that reducing interpersonal violence can have a positive
effect on people’s wellbeing and may save a great deal of public
expenditure.
This book is an invaluable resource for students and
researchers in the fields of psychology, criminology, law, and police
studies, as well as professionals such as probation staff and forensic
psychologists.
