Domestic Abuse: Law and Practice is a comprehensive practitioners guide to dealing with cases involving personal protection, harassment, and domestic abuse. This new edition has been thoroughly revised. It takes account of recent case-law and provides analysis of all the important procedural developments, including: the revised PD12J (Child Arrangements and Contact Order: Domestic Abuse and Harm); future developments in the law relating to domestic abuse; and the increasing recognition of the pernicious effect which violence can have on children. The text is supplemented by appendices containing key forms, precedents and legislation. Domestic Abuse: Law and Practice is an invaluable practical guide written for solicitors, barristers, citizen advice bureaux, and womens rights groups.
