Between Systems and Violence : State-Level Policy Targeting Intimate Partner Violence in Immigrant and Refugee Lives Hardback
by Julio Montanez, Amy Donley, Amy Reckdenwald
Part of the Routledge Studies in Crime and Society series
Hardback
Description
Between Systems and Violence offers a compilation and analysis of state-level statutes targeting intimate partner violence (IPV) in immigrant and/or refugee (IMR) lives.
The book analyzes such statutes’ legal language via various theoretical lenses, as well as provides a discussion of implications for research, prevention, intervention, and public policy.
Some IMR victim-survivors of IPV, such as those who are undocumented, may be pinned "between systems and violence" as violent partners use the immigration system as a mechanism of power and control.
While protections are available for these victim-survivors, the story told about the encompassing legal landscape remains incomplete and relegated to federal law.
Graduate students, as well as scholars and practitioners, will acquire an in-depth understanding of this important nexus.
