Description: What should public prosecutors do when victims withdraw support for domestic violence prosecutions? The answer to this question that motivates the investigation undertaken in this book defends the claim that (other things being equal) domestic violence prosecutors should respond as feminists.

Review Quotes: "This book is a valuable addition to the domestic violence literature and undoubtedly adds a fresh dimension to what has hitherto been a somewhat narrow debate about what constitutes an 'effective' domestic violence prosecution."
--Mandy Burton, University of Leicester, International Journal of Law, Policy and the Family 24(1)
