출판사 서평

"In a field that too often substitutes myth for fact, Erica Bowen has written an immensely thoughtful and well-researched book ... Bowen gives a critical and balanced review of the research on incidence and typologies of DV perpetrators, changes to the criminal justice response, and theories of causality." (PsycCRITIQUES, 18 January 2012)&
