Among the accidents that mold the careers of researchers is geographic location. The culture in which a research program emerges helps determine both its very...

Levinson's study of family violence breaks new ground by taking a global perspective of this social ill.

Among the author's more important conclusions are that women's economic equality and independence reduces family violence and that family violence is clearly correlated with more general violence in a society.
