Call Number: 364.40994 PRE
This title has chapters on a wide range of matters, including alcohol and violence, bullying, perpetrators and homicide, masculinity and violence, and violence in health services .
An extract from the publisher's website states:
This book has been written for all of those who are interested in understanding and preventing violence in Australia. Whether it occurs in the home, in the workplace, whilst out socialising or on the sports field, the personal, social, and economic costs of violence are often profound. Not only does it damage the physical and psychological health of those who are directly involved, but it also impacts adversely on many others - including witnesses, family and friends, and those law enforcement and health professionals who are expected to respond. And yet, there have been few previous attempts to draw together the various disciplinary and professional perspectives on how we might approach the task of preventing violence in Australia.
