More about the book

Focusing on domestic violence disclosure schemes, particularly Clare's Law in England and Wales, this book analyzes the effectiveness and implications of allowing the public to inquire about a partner's potential risk. It presents a detailed methodology for evaluating these increasingly popular schemes, discussing their advantages, disadvantages, and regulatory challenges. The work aims to determine whether sharing criminal history with intimate partners enhances safety. It targets academics and policymakers in domestic violence, regulation, and criminal justice sectors.
