"Visionary and comprehensive, this long-awaited book provides one of the most thoughtful and comprehensive analyses of criminalization yet. It is balanced in its analysis and brave in its critique of the ways that current approaches to intimate partner violence have failed to respond to the complexity of the problem(s). Goodmark has made a profound contribution to legal scholarship, the public policy debates, and, perhaps most importantly, the activist antiviolence community looking for social justice solutions." --Beth E. Richie, author of Arrested Justice: Black Women, Violence, and America's Prison Nation

"Goodmark offers a brave and decisive critique of our commitment to governing the problem of domestic violence through crime control and an alternative vision for protecting victims." --Jonathan Simon, author of Mass Incarceration on Trial: A Remarkable Court Decision and the Future of Prisons in America
