Opis

This book puts women’s experiences of domestic violence at its centre, whilst acknowledging their many diverse and complex identities. Concentrating on the various forms of domestic abuse and their manifestation within different contexts, it argues that gender is centrally implicated in the factors that shape violence across all these areas.

"For professionals interested in working in the area of family violence, this book provides information not typically found in most of the professional literature on the topic. The depth of the exploration associated with this book is unequaled and should be applauded… Summing Up: Essential. Professionals." - D.A. Mathews, Salisbury University, in CHOICE, May 2015
