Product details
Description
Domestic Violence: Law, Policy, and Practice Diane Kiesel ISBN 9780820570525
Domestic Violence: Law, Policy, and Practice offers a distinctive interdisciplinary introduction to the study of domestic violence, encouraging students to look beyond case law and understand the broader impact of this serious social problem on the justice system. While acknowledging the important contributions of women’s advocates in raising awareness, the book is not written solely from an advocacy standpoint. Instead, it traces the evolution of the law through court cases, scholarly articles, government reports, and media coverage, making it suitable for students aspiring to become advocates, prosecutors, defense attorneys, public policy experts, or judges.
The text emphasizes that responsibility for domestic violence rests with the abuser but goes beyond simply analyzing crime and punishment. It explores criminal and family law approaches to addressing domestic violence, the effects of family violence on children, sentencing, and the outcomes of specialized domestic violence courts established nationwide. Additional chapters examine topics such as federal gun and immigration law, domestic violence within LGBTQ+ communities, and domestic violence across different cultural contexts.
Designed for active learning, the book includes charts, photographs, illustrations, and drawings to support comprehension. Each chapter concludes with notes and questions to foster classroom discussion and deepen understanding of the issues presented. A Teacher’s Manual is also available to guide instruction.

Shipping & Returns

-
Rental returns: free at semester's end, prorated if early
Print a prepaid return label from your account whenever you have finished with the book, and drop it at the carrier listed on the label. Returning it by your semester return date, or after it is already overdue, is free with no deduction. Returning it early, before that date, deducts a 15% restocking fee and the label cost from your refund.
-
Purchase returns: 15% restocking fee
Purchases can be returned within 30 days in the condition you received. We will email a prepaid return label; once we receive your book, we refund the purchase price minus the 15% restocking fee and the return label cost. Original shipping is non-refundable.
-
Shipping costs calculated at checkout
Real-time rates are quoted at checkout based on your address and the books in your cart. Returning your book by your semester date is always free; an early return deducts the restocking fee and label cost from your refund instead.
Rental Terms
Return by December 28, 2026 for Fall 2026 rentals.
- Late Fees
- Books returned after the semester deadline accrue a weekly late fee of about 10% of the book's Brand New price, for each copy that is overdue. The rent you have already paid counts toward the book's replacement value (its Brand New price), so late fees stop once your rent plus late fees reach it. That replacement value is the most a rental can ever cost you. We email a reminder 48 hours before any charge, and any late fees are charged to the payment method you save at checkout.
- Damage Fees
- Books returned damaged beyond normal classroom wear may be assessed a damage fee, capped at the book's replacement value (its Brand New price). Any damage fees are charged to the payment method you save at checkout after we inspect the returned book.
- Return Shipping
- Returning your book is free with no deduction if it reaches us by your semester return date, or after it's already overdue. Print a prepaid label (USPS or UPS, whichever is cheaper for your package) from your account's My Rentals page. Returning it EARLY, before your semester return date, deducts a 15% restocking fee and the label cost from your refund, the same as cancelling a shipped rental for a refund.
- 30-Day Cancellation
- Changed your mind? Cancel an active rental within 30 days of your order from My Account → My Rentals. Cancel before your book ships and it’s free; once it has shipped, we refund the rental price minus a 15% restocking fee and the return label cost, released once we receive your book. Shipping is non-refundable.
