Summary
Abetting Batterers reveals the troubling patterns of inattention and incompetence that compromise the safety of women in the US. It looks at how the criminal justice system responds to the ever-growing problem of domestic violence, what preventative strategies and training have been developed and put in place, and why most are still failing.
