Web of Violence - A Study of Family Violence

Originally published in 1978, Jean Renvoize traces the web of violence along many different strands. She covers baby battering and child abuse, violent husbands and wives, 'granny bashing' and incest. She looks at the psychological roots and the social patterns; she also surveys the agencies that act to prevent family violence.
