Despite sustained global attention, policy development, and research investment, the prevalence of intimate partner abuse (IPA) worldwide has not diminished. Ending Intimate Partner Abuse advances the field of IPA prevention by presenting a theoretically grounded and empirically derived model of the earliest warning signs.

Integrating psychological and sociological perspectives, this book offers an innovative framework for conceptualising the onset and hidden nature of abuse in intimate partner relationships while providing readers with clarity on the interconnected components critical to understanding and preventing abuse. Emphasising the voices of those with lived expertise, this book illuminates the masks that hide the earliest warning signs and equips practitioners with the knowledge required to minimise the impact of, and exposure to, abuse for the women they work with.

Ending Intimate Partner Abuse: Blending Psychological and Sociological Solutions is valuable to researchers, practitioners, and policymakers in the fields of psychology, sociology, and criminology, particularly those working in gender-based violence.
