Interventions Against Child Abuse and Violence Against Women - Ethics and culture in practice and policy

This book offers insights and perspectives from a study of "Cultural Encounters
in Intervention Against Violence" (CEINAV) in four EU-countries. Seeking
a deeper understanding of the underpinnings of intervention practices in
Germany, Portugal, Slovenia and the United Kingdom, the team explored
variations in institutional structures and traditions of law, policing, and
social welfare. Theories of structural inequality and ethics are discussed and
translated into practice.
