This book is well written in an informal, accessible way, and is interesting and informative ... I would recommend this book to anyone with an interest in domestic violence but particularly to current and future policy makers and practitioners. Network magazine, SPA This book will stimulate a lot of personal reflection in practitioners who strive to protect children from harm. Probation journal Lynne Harne gives a stark insight to the risks for children's well-being from domestically violent fathers. Based on violent fathers' own accounts the book raises essential questions about the inappropriate and unsafe parenting practices engaged in by these men. Professor Marianne Hester, Chair in Gender, Violence & International Policy, School for Policy Studies, University of Bristol This book provides a convincing critique of the pro-contact bias in family law giving new insights into violent fathers' views about children. It is a valuable resource for students and practitioners of family law, child protection and criminal justice. Lorraine Radford, Head of Research, NSPCC
