Successful Prosecution of Intimate Violence Summary

Successful Prosecution of Intimate Violence: Making it Offender-Focused by Bridget H. Ryan

* Practical, understandable, and attainable skills vital in working with victims and in prosecuting complex, difficult cases of interpersonal violence

* In the #MeToo era, investigators and prosecutors in all court systems must both seek justice for victims and remediate the system to do less harm to the victims involved. Every district attorney's or prosecutor's office from the city/county level to the expanded country level, as well as family court attorneys in custody and civil proceedings, law schools, and criminal justice personnel needs the content this book provides.

* Unlike the material currently available, full of debunked information like Battered Women's Syndrome, this book offers specific tools for prosecutors and investigators that support victims and can be used in any type of case.
