My Partner, My Enemy : An Unflinching View of Domestic Violence and New Ways to Protect Victims

"The problem of domestic violence and partner abuse knows no bounds, can affect anyone, and when kept silent and in the dark can become deadly. Hon. John Leventhal presided over the Brooklyn Felony Domestic Violence Court, the first felony domestic violence part in the nation, since it opened in June 1996 until he was elevated to the appellate court January 2008. While domestic violence has greater social and legal visibility today then it did in the past, the problem still remains a massive and ongoing crisis. My Partner, My Enemy brings truth and reality to a matter that desperately needs to be addressed. So how do we help reduce and eliminate intimate partner abuse, especially when the public knows so little and much goes unreported? By exploring the severity of the problem through true case studies of violent and abusive men, and their motivations, Leventhal successfully brings to light the problem and ways to help." --Amazon Introduction1: What is the Scope of the Domestic Violence Problem in Society?2: Build It and They Will Come3: Lucky Laurie4: Yuri the Hunter5: Desmond and Enid6: Deadly Dave7: Boris the Bully8: Predator Paul9: Same Sex Savagery10: Alvin's Allowance11: Jeremiah Jonah12: Fatal Frankie13: Classic Carl14: Selfish Samuel15: Dangerous Love16: Deadly Vignettes17: What Can We Do to Protect and to Aid Abused Women to Help Themselves?18: What Should We Do With The Perpetrators?
