Post-Separation Violence and Abuse in the Lives of Women and Children amplifies the voices of women and children to highlight the myriad issues encountered post-separation when perpetrators of domestic violence and abuse (DVA) continue to exert their control.Despite increased scholarship on DVA and its consequences, post-separation violence and abuse remains an under-studied and written about issue. As the first book dedicated to the subject, this work frames post-separation violence and abuse as a continuum of DVA, too often overlooked and negated, and uses lived experiences to highlight the wide-ranging consequences it can have for women and children. Chapters offer detailed insights into the effects of harassment and stalking, femicide-homicide, the experiences of minoritised women and children, and a discussion of child contact as a form of post-separation violence and abuse. This volume also presents perpetrators’ accounts, as well as consideration of what is required for rebuilding lives in the aftermath of post-separation violence and abuse.This essential work will be of interest to a range of professionals and practitioners across the voluntary and statutory sectors, as well as scholars and students of social work, social policy, gender studies, criminology, and psychology.
