Abstract

that is often called into question. Using case excerpts, quotes from victims and offenders, and her own experience, Dr Valliere breaks down common criticisms of victim behaviors and expands on offender tactics critical to explore in the investigation and prosecution process. This compact guide is an excellent, easy to understand resource for anyone engaged in practice, research, and policy work on interpersonal violence. It is also a useful resource, and one I plan to use in the future, for courses on interpersonal victimization and offending.
