Abiodun Raufu, Omolade Olunike OLOMOLA, and Edidiong Mendie bring to light the different dimensions of gender-based violence in Africa, like the challenges of patriarchy, the limits of the law, and the cultural acceptance of violence against women in the private sphere. In spite of the different forms and causes of violence, it is universally recognized as a destructive force that has extensive consequences for both individuals and society as a whole. In order to combat violence, it is important to understand its root causes and foundational issues to facilitate workable solutions through a range of strategies, including education, prevention, and intervention programs. This book will be of interest to students and scholars in criminology, sociology, legal studies, African studies, and more.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreface\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcknowledgments\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction: Violence as a Concept by Omolade Olunike OLOMOLA\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 1: Domestic Violence in Africa by Abiodun Raufu\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 2: Comparative Analysis of Domestic Violence in Nigeria and the United States of America by Edidiong Mendie and Abiodun Raufu\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 3: Types of Gender-Based Violence by Edidiong Mendie\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 4: Predictors of Gender-Based Violence in Africa by Abiodun Raufu\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 5: Impact of Gender-Based Violence in Africa by Abiodun Raufu\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 6: Legal Framework on Gender Based Violence in Nigeria by Omolade Olunike OLOMOLA\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 7: Intimate Partner Homicides \u0026amp; Femicide by Edidiong Mendie\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 8: Harmful Traditional Practices Against African Women by Edidiong Mendie\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 9: Overview of Human Trafficking in Africa by Edidiong Mendie\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 10: Emerging Trends in Gender Violence by Omolade Olunike OLOMOLA\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReferences\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAbout the Authors\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lexington Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51042033140055,"sku":"9781666934823","price":65.7,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781666934823.jpg?v=1750952714","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/gender-based-violence-law-and-african-society-9781666934823","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
