    May 31, 2006 Domestic Violence Expert Says DV Policies Based on Gender Politics, not Science

    Dr. Donald Dutton's new book Rethinking Domestic Violence is out. Dutton is one of North America's leading proponents of sanity in the domestic violence sphere. According to Dutton, his new book "reviews all research on causes, incidence and policy toward domestic violence called Intimate Partner Violence (IPV). It concludes IPV causation is best explained by personality disorder and that gender analysis is not supported by the data. It shows how the male perpetrator-female victim stereotype is not typical. Similarly, it reviews evidence for both mandatory arrest and no drop prosecution and finds that both have failed. It recommends a more flexible professional approach that blends, criminal justice, community psychology and community mental health approaches."
