Gendered Justice : Intimate Partner Violence and the Criminal Justice System Paperback / softback
by Venessa Garcia, Patrick McManimon
Part of the Issues in Crime and Justice series
Paperback / softback
Description
Gendered Justice takes a unique, multi-layered look at the various elements that factor into our understanding of domestic violence and how the criminal justice system handles situations of domestic violence.
The book focuses primarily on the role of gender, but also considers socio-economic status, race, age, education, and the relationship between the victim and criminal.
Illustrated with case studies throughout, the book introduces major themes, such as the social construction of gender and victimology, as well as topics such as the portrayal of intimate partner violence in the media and how it shapes our understanding of violence.
