abstract="Analysis of information held by police, probation, and third-sector organizations in Wales about 100 domestic abuse perpetrators, along with 16 practitioner interviews, provides the empirical context for a discussion of the problem of &quot;serial domestic abuse.&quot; Despite increased concern over the harm caused by serial abusers, different definitions and recording systems prevent a reliable estimation of the problem. This exploratory study suggests that the offending profiles of serial abusers are heterogeneous, and recommends that approaches aimed at reducing the harm caused by the &quot;power few&quot; domestic abusers incorporate information about serial alongside repeat and high-risk offending.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
