Dutton argues that only by understanding the psychology of both the aggressors and the victims of wife assault can we generate informed social and criminal justice policy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thanks to the Simpson case, domestic violence is no longer a dirty little secret. It remains, however, a devastating problem, and even more, a deadly killer. What is the answer? In 1994, Lou Brown, father of Nicole Brown Simpson, gave us one solution by establishing a foundation in his daughter's name that provides urgently needed funding to battered women's shelters across the country. Now he goes a step further, and with the help of a like-minded pastor and a legal activist who has been battered, offers hope and practical strategies for combating domestic violence. In a book whose first half is geared to support network people like himself--parents, families, friends, both personal and professional, and acquaintances who can and should make a difference--and whose second half is directed at the victims of abuse, here is an action plan for battered women and those around them. Stop Domestic Violence offers a checklist for the victim of domestic violence, from obtaining restraining orders to getting the support network on her side. Here are steps on how to combat battering within families, within communities, within homes and at the legislative level. For Concerned Friends and Family: - What makes these men do it, and is there a cure for them? - Why do women stay? - What can I do to help a battered woman? And for the Victim--How do I: - Get stronger on the inside? - Deal with the legal system? - Stay sane in a shelter? - Stay save and begin recovery? This is a how-to book--practical, easy to use--and it just might save a life.

Book Synopsis Men and Women Changing Role of Domestic Violence by : Bertha Pulliam-Carlson
Download or read book Men and Women Changing Role of Domestic Violence written by Bertha Pulliam-Carlson and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2016-08-27 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book focuses and discuses about violence against women and men. This is a global problem that affects both industrialized and non-industrialized nations worldwide. This means that gender-related violence crosses many path. These include sexual assault, spousal abuse, sexual harassment, and coerced sterilization and childbearing. Others are criminalized abortion and female circumcision. Violence issues against women are generally omitted from the agenda of health. Many cultures blame women for the abuse rather than researching for the true facts. Therefore, many women have limited resources for seeking help to learn how to cope with negative behaviors in an abusive relationship. So be aware that some men regard their wives as property, which means they have all of the power to make demands and control. The new changing role in domestic violence has taken on a new face. It is no longer husband against wife; the dynamic has changed drastically within the family networks. Now we see intimate partner violence due to the changing role of players.
