Public protection has become an increasingly central theme in the work of the criminal justice agencies in many parts of the world in recent years. Its high public profile and consequent political sensitivity means that growing numbers of criminal justice professionals find their daily work load dominated by the assessment and management of high risk of harm offenders.

This book situates the complexity of violence within its broader context and covers a wide span of sexual violence including sexual harassment, bullying and murder as well as domestic violence. Written by leading academics from a variety of disciplines, the contributions also include commentary relating the research to practitioners. The book focuses on attitudes and behaviour from the point of view of the individual experiencing the violence, perpetrator and victim, placed within a broader societal frame.
