Notes:	Provides a critique of Linda Mills’ Insult to Injury: Rethinking Our Responses to Intimate Abuse:, arguing the thesis is based on a narrow view of the causes of domestic violence, its nature and its consequences. Highlighting the ways in which Mills’ theory fails to acknowledge systems of domination and control that perpetuate violence against women, it is suggested that, while her programme for reform may help some battered women, its application to the diversity of women’s experiences of violence and abuse is limited. Argues Mills’ approach places blame on both the victim and perpetrator and in doing so, detracts from the critical issues that need to be addressed in the context of US criminal justice responses to domestic violence.
