Societal beliefs that domestic violence is primarily a crime against women, otherwise known as the gender paradigm, involves the presumption that domestic violence is about the abuse of women by men. Gender and Domestic Violence directly challenges this prevailing paradigm by demonstrating how it has led to differential treatment that can jeopardize defendant due process and victim safety. Experts, legal scholars, and practicing attorneys provide tools to become more inclusive in the process and practice of domestic violence criminal justice policies.
