Description

'Romantic Terrorism' offers an innovative methodology in exploring the ways in which domestic violence offenders terrorize their victims. Hayes and Jeffries employ a collaborative auto-ethnographic approach to analyze their own lived experiences of domestic violence, in particular, how romantic love is employed and distorted by abusers. Its focus on the insidious use of tactics of coercive control by abusers opens up the much-needed discussion on the damage caused by emotional and psychological abuse, which are often overlooked or downplayed in both the literature and the criminal justice system. To this end, it offers strategic advice for policymakers, practitioners and criminal justice professionals involved in domestic violence service provision. --P. [4] of cover.
