Book Review: Domestic violence law and practice

Abstract

Roger Bird explains in Chapter 1 (Introduction) that the ‘purpose of this book is to provide a quick and reliable guide to practitioners and others relating to the various forms of personal protection available through the court process’ (pg. 1). This is very much a practitioner’s guide, and both experienced and new practitioners should indeed find this volume to be a speedy aid to this area of practice, although, as discussed below, its reliability is occasionally open to question.
