The historical context of family violence is explored, as well as the various
forms of violence, their prevalence in specific stages of life, and responses to
family violence made by the criminal justice system and other agencies. The
linkage among child abuse, partner violence, and elder abuse is scrutinized, and
the usefulness of the life-course approach is couched in terms of its potential
effect on policy implications; research methods that recognize the importance of
life stages, trajectories, and transitions; and crime causation theories that
can be enhanced by incorporating the life-course perspective. The book concludes
with recommendations for future research and policy, and predictions regarding
the future of family violence in the United States.
