About this book

This edited book brings together a range of expert voices – academics, researchers, practitioners, activists, and policy leads – who are responding to domestic and sexual violence (DASV) in various settings. The chapters are united in the need to embed systemic responses to these social issues within a broader accountability and support system. It provides a timely and refreshing take on tackling a pervasive social issue at a time of increased complexity and crisis while exploring the real-world consequences and impacts of service provision at a systems level, emphasising the need for greater coordination and alignment.
