ISBN: 9780765802750 / Angielski / Twarda / 145 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Fifty years ago, the phrase "family policy" was rarely heard in America.

Family meant marriage, children, the establishment of a home, care of the elderly, but perhaps most of all, bonding of the... Fifty years ago, the phrase "family policy" was rarely heard in America.

Nevertheless, family violence is gendered; most abused victims are female and most perpetrators are male. Family violence is not merely personal. It is also a consequence of social inequality, and in that sense is socially constructed. Based on research projects conducted over ten years, Understanding...
