This is a practical guide to policing domestic violence. It sets out approaches to help identify victims early and target offenders through the effective use of intelligence across a range of offending. It also offers guidance on investigative techniques, risk assessment, inter-agency murder reviews and information-sharing. The impact of domestic violence on children and other witnesses is discussed, and the powers available to police under new legislation are outlined. This title provides officers with information on all the practical measures to protect victims through the civil courts and through inter-agency schemes and perpetrator programs. It also includes a chapter on the topical subject of honor-based violence and forced marriage and gives advice on the various measures officers can take. All the issues covered in the book are supplemented with useful case studies and checklists, as well as examples of log taking and relevant forms, illustrating how the issues are dealt with in practice. The book forms part of the Blackstone's Practical Policing Series. The series, aimed at junior to middle ranking officers, consists of practical guides containing clear and detailed explanations of the relevant legislation and practice, accompanied by case studies, illustrative diagrams and useful checklists.

Of the many contributions Italy has made to world theatre, the Commedia dell'arte remains the one of the most widely known and admired. Its influence on the work of pioneers of modern theatre, like Craig, Meyerhold, Reinhardt, and Copeau and of modern ballet and opera, like Diaghilev, Stravinsky and Prokofiev, was substantial and it continues to be an inspiration in the theatre today. It flourished for well over two hundred years, from the mid 16th century to the mid 18th century, and exercised a wide influence throughout Europe, from England to Spain, to Sweden, Poland and Russia. Yet even though we have been left a rich visual record, and great range and variety of documentary materials, the Commedia dell'arte remains in many respects elusive. What were its origins? Was it from the beginning dominated by the masked players? How much of it was improvised, and what were the nature and techniques of the improvization the players practised? This illustrated documentary history brings together a large selection of some the most important documents illustrative of the activities of the Italian companies - including letters, contracts and descriptions of players and performances, as well as examples of scenarii, lazzi, dialogues and soliloquies. Each group of documents is prefaced by an introductory account designed to place the documents in context and provide an overview of the history and characteristics of the Commedia dell'arte.
