Abstract: 

So many of the professionals who could assist battered women, the author of this article states, have limited effectiveness because of their limited understanding of the nature and effects of battering. He offers a criminologist’s view of the various forms abuse takes, and provides, from his book, a lens--- the Battered Woman Syndrome Index--- through which this issue can be viewed.
