Woman Battering in the United States: Till Death Do Us Part

Woman Battering in the United States: Till Death Do Us Part

For: $29.95

A combination text and reader addres-sing a much-needed topic. This cutting-edge and provocative text, written from a feminist perspective, concentrates on women's experiences of victimization--specifically battering. Eigenberg includes informative articles that enhance and complement the fundamental con-cepts presented in the book. Like other types of violence against women, battering has long been ignored by academics, professionals, and policymakers who focus instead on violent, ran-dom crime committed by strangers. This much-needed volume, appropriate for both under-graduate and graduate courses, challenges readers to think critically about the social construction of crime--how social definitions of crime might change if the magnitude and seriousness of woman battering were addressed. Salient features: 1) demonstrates how a feminist, social constructionist perspective on women battering differs from other perspectives; 2) shows ways in which woman battering serves as a means of social control; and 3) examines how society minimalizes the extent and magnitude of woman battering.
