Books
The library has a well stocked collection of print and electronic titles on Domestic Violence and Sexual Abuse. Using Library Search and searching by title, author and/or keywords is the best way to find relevant material. Print books are arranged on the shelves using the Dewey Decimal Classification system (000-999) - note the number (classmark) with the accompanying letters to find them. See below for a list of the main relevant classmarks. However, remember that titles in your subject area may be found throughout the library depending on their approach, for example:
Law 340....
Social Work 362.....
Criminology 364.....
Psychiatry 616.8......
