Violence against Women (Understanding Social Problems)

"Research and advocacy aimed at understanding and ending violence against women began in earnest in the early 1970s, with violence emerging as a central concern of the feminist movement. This work has expanded exponentially over the past three decades to influence practice and policy at the local, state, and federal levels. Many of the most influential articles in the field were published in Social Problems. This volume assembles twelve of these articles into a core text that cover such topics as wife abuse, sexual assault, sexual harassment, and stalking as well as institutional responses to violence against women."--Jacket.
