"This book provides the reader an international lens and current research to learn quickly about the impacts, causation, and different layers of interpersonal abuse. Delia references diverse groups and explores how there are similarities and differences across genders, sexualities, and relationship connections. The use of statistics and comparisons across the globe demonstrates the differences in severity and offers insights into the areas helpers may need to focus on. A lot of domestic violence literature repeats the same themes or information; however, Delia offers a point of difference to other articles, the neurobiology that is concerned with exposing the biological mechanisms by which nervous systems enable behavior. This section explains the pattern of perpetrator behaviors and can help the reader explain to people impacted by violence a psychological point of view of why violence can happen and be different from person to person."
