This progress has been uneven, however, due to continuing misconceptions about the causes and dynamics of domestic violence, which include an exaggerated focus on males as perpetrators and females as victims, as well as a heavy-handed law enforcement response that compromises the rights of criminal defendants without necessarily reducing violence. Gender and Domestic Violence presents empirical research findings and reform recommendations for prosecutors, criminal defense attorneys, policy makers and intervention providers with the aim of rectifying shortcomings in legal and law enforcement responses to domestic violence. The volume''s editors and chapter authors confront the notion that certain beliefs shared among victim advocates, legal actors, and other stakeholders -- principally that domestic violence is bound by gender, and is primarily a crime against women -- \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI applaud and admire John Hamel and Brenda Russell for putting together this book. The book is well-researched with chapters written by highly regarded experts in the field. Although destined to be controversial, it's long overdue, and provides solid research and recommendations for both criminal justice and family courts for how to best handle domestic violence cases. It takes on the political controversy and provides evidence-based information on how gender is not the determining predictor for who commits domestic violence. It is a must read for all who work in the field of domestic violence and who encounter domestic violence in the criminal courts, family courts, and service professions. * Denise A. Hines, Ph.D., Associate Professor, College of Health and Human Services, George Mason University *\u003cbr\u003eFinally! Perhaps the most comprehensive approach to understanding IPV in terms of policy and practice, this book gathers the work of committed scholars who ignored convention in the face of great opposition and steadfastly pushed for a greater understanding of women's use of violence. Hamel and Russell's book shines light in the dark corners where change and progress are desperately needed and represents more than a decade of effort to transform our thinking - and thus our policies, practices, and treatment approaches - resulting in a paradigmatic shift in the conversations around gender and IPV. * Michelle Mohr Carney, PhD, MSSA, Dean \u0026amp; Professor, School of Social Welfare, University of Kansas *\u003cbr\u003eAs a former domestic violence prosecutor, I struggled with the one-size-fits-all approach to IPV. As a current defense attorney, I see the havoc this homogenous mindset causes for the wrongfully accused. With a scientific and fact-driven approach, this volume recognizes and reports the nuances of IPV, and asks questions of our current criminal legal system based on research, not stereotypes or politics. Prosecutors, defense attorneys and judges must wrestle with the evidence presented in this volume or risk being well-intentioned agents of injustice. * Peter Chambers, Esq., Law Office of Peter James Chambers *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePart I Topic Overview of Research on Domestic Violence  1 Introduction-The Problem with the Gender Paradigm John Hamel, Ph.D. \u0026amp; Brenda Russell, Ph.D  2 What We Currently Know about the Prevalence, Causes and Dynamics of Intimate Partner Violence Elizabeth Bates, Ph.D. \u0026amp; Alexandra Papamichail, Ph.D  3 The Law Enforcement Response to IPV: Toward a Gender-Neutral Approach Brenda Russell, Ph.D \u0026amp; Emily Seisler, BA.

In Islam, as in other religious traditions, the idea of equality between men and women was neither central to notions of justice nor part of the juristic landscape, and Muslim jurists did not begin to address it until the twentieth century.  The personal status of Muslim men, women and children continues to be defined by understandings of Islamic law codified and adapted by modern nation-states that assume authority to be the natural prerogative of men, that disadvantage women and that are prone to abuse. This volume argues that effective and sustainable reform of these laws and practices requires engagement with their religious rationales from within the tradition.  Gender and Equality in Muslim Family Law offers a groundbreaking analysis of family law, based on fieldwork in family courts, and illuminated by insights from distinguished clerics and scholars of Islam from Morocco, Egypt, Iran, Pakistan and Indonesia, as well as by the experience of human rights and women s rights activists. It explores how male authority is sustained through law and court practice in different contexts, the consequences for women and the family, and the demands made by Muslim women s groups. The book argues for women's full equality before the law by re-examining the jurisprudential and theological arguments for male guardianship (qiwama, wilaya) in Islamic legal tradition. Using contemporary examples from various contexts, from Morocco to Malaysia, this volume presents an informative and vital analysis of these societies and gender relations within them. It unpicks the complex and often contradictory attitudes towards Muslim family law, and the ways in which justice and ethics are conceived in the Islamic tradition. The book offers a new framework for rethinking old formulations so as to reflect contemporary realities and understandings of justice, ethics and gender rights. \"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book accomplishes its goal by exploring the political and hermeneutical challenges that  hinder  gender  equality  from  being  fully  realized  by  scrutinizing  Islamic  texts  and  jurists’  opinions. * Journal of the Contemporary Study of Islam *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction: Muslim Family Law and the Question of Equality.

With the introduction of divorce Ireland has  moved from a system which attached shame to the breakdown of marriage to  one that provides for the reality of modern family life.

Sex workers, gay men, and transgender people became visible in the Indian public sphere in the mid-1980s when the rise of HIV\/AIDS became a frightening issue. The Indian state started to fold these groups into national HIV\/AIDS policies as high-risk groups in an attempt to create an effective response to the epidemic. Lakkimsetti argues that over time the crisis of HIV\/AIDS effectively transformed the relationship between sexual minorities and the state from one that was focused on juridical exclusion to one of inclusion. The new relationship then enabled affected groups to demand rights and citizenship from the Indian state that had been previously unimaginable.

These arrangements, sometimes referred to as cooperative adoption or open adoption agreements, can range from informal, mutual understandings between the birth and adoptive families to written, formal contracts.","brand":"Nova Science Publishers Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48887243997527,"sku":"9781634854375","price":138.39,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781634854375.jpg?v=1722543658"},{"product_id":"unbundling-family-legal-services-toolkit-9781784460358","title":"Unbundling Family Legal Services Toolkit","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis toolkit provides a suite of tools to assist family solicitors in implementing new methods of pricing unbundling work and new ways of working.","brand":"The Law Society","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48887760552279,"sku":"9781784460358","price":69.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781784460358.jpg?v=1722546113"},{"product_id":"matrimonial-finance-handbook-9781784461423","title":"Matrimonial Finance Handbook","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Matrimonial Finance Handbook is an indispensable resource for practitioners advising clients on financial remedies following divorce or civil partnership dissolution.","brand":"The Law Society","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48887761502551,"sku":"9781784461423","price":82.41,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781784461423.jpg?v=1722546116"},{"product_id":"open-justice-and-privacy-in-family-proceedings-9781784461584","title":"Open Justice and Privacy in Family Proceedings","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOpen Justice and Privacy in Family Proceedings provides a practical guide to the principles and practice of open justice and privacy in family proceedings.

Ihre Untersuchung trägt in dreierlei Hinsicht zu einem neuen Verständnis bei: erstens, indem sie die Testierfreiheit als zivilrechtliches Prinzip vor einer zu stark verfassungsrechtlich geprägten Anschauung in Schutz nimmt. Die Gestaltungsbefugnis von Todes wegen wird in der verfassungsgerichtlichen Rechtsprechung als Verfügungsbefugnis über den Tod hinaus beschrieben. Damit erscheint sie als Fortsetzung des Rechts der Lebenden mit anderen rechtsgeschäftlichen Mitteln und wird zudem mit der Vorstellung eines \"Leistungseigentums\" verknüpft. Es zeigt sich des Weiteren, dass an die Gestaltungsbefugnis von Todes wegen Strukturmerkmale heran getragen werden, die aus dem Recht der Lebenden stammen, im Erbrecht aber Fremdkörper sind. Das gilt zum einen für den erbrechtlichen Typenzwang, der in Anlehnung an den sachenrechtlichen konzipiert wird. Es gilt aber vor allem für die Anleihen, die beim lebzeitigen Vertragsparadigma gemacht werden und die diachrone Struktur des erbrechtlichen Rechtsgeschäfts außer Acht lassen.Drittens ist es der Autorin um ein genuin rechtsgeschäftliches Verständnis der Testierfreiheit zu tun. Das klingt selbstverständlich, ist es aber nicht. So behaupten familienerbrechtliche Deutungen der Gestaltungsbefugnis von Todes wegen einen Leitbildcharakter der gesetzlichen für die rechtsgeschäftliche Erbfolge. Ihre Interpretation als besonderes Persönlichkeitsrecht des Erblassers zur Todesverarbeitung verengt schließlich den privatrechtlichen Freiheitsraum von Todes wegen inhaltlich auf eine Reflexion über Mortalität.","brand":"JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48889062490455,"sku":"9783161491900","price":110.2,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9783161491900.jpg?v=1722552506"},{"product_id":"blackstones-statutes-on-family-law-9780192858610","title":"Blackstones Statutes on Family Law","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUnsurpassed in authority, reliability and accuracy; Blackstone''s Statutes, trusted by students for over 30 years.Celebrating over 30 years as the market-leading series, Blackstone''s Statutes have an unrivalled tradition of trust and quality.

Ellickson defines the household as a voluntary grouping of relatives or non-relatives living under the same roof. As he points out in his engaging study, this pervasive institution has received surprisingly little attention from social theorists... The Household, a short, curious and enjoyable book, provides a novel way of looking at an institution from which very few of us can escape.\"--Lucy Worsley, Times Literary Supplement \"Ellickson's book represents a skillful use of the analytical tools of the law-and-economics movement to understand relations within the household--a complicated machine for living that involves a large number of joint decisions... Ellickson's book pushes us to think more clearly about the benefits and the costs of homeownership. His book makes sense of one of the most striking facts in the homeownership literature: the extremely tight relationship between structure type and ownership... Houses are most Americans' most important asset. They are the stages on which we live our lives. And so housing policy is worthy of intense attention--but until the current crisis housing policy existed in the netherworld of the more unglamorous public pursuits. Perhaps our present-day troubles will create the opportunity to produce better housing policies, or so I hope. Robert Ellickson's ideas can certainly help.\"--Edward Glaeser, The New Republic \"This volume is a tour de force! Ellickson takes the reader on an erudite, highly informative journey through the household in all of its many manifestations and facets... The reader enjoys a catholic view of why households persist; why they are the size they are; how ownership versus rental decisions are made; what motivates adding or shedding household members; and most fascinatingly, how informal norms regulate household occupant behavior with little formal and explicit societal legislation.\"--D.
