It engages with how human rights frameworks define violence against women as a cause and consequence of womenâs inequality, and explores how race, ethnicity, class, citizenship status, and sexual orientation shape experiences of victimization, perpetration, and institutional responses. Chapters synthesize prevalence methods and data, key feminist concepts, impacts and aftermath of violence, what is known about perpetrators, the history of anti-violence activism, violence against women on college campuses and in the media, and how the criminal legal systems respond. Contested issues, such as prostitution and pornography, and the extent to which commercial sex can be understood as a form of, and\/or context for, violence against women, are also explored. The book closes with a final chapter offering directions for adopting a human rights approach to ending violence against women in the United States.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBy offering an analysis of how violence against women has come to be named in activist, policy, and academic arenas, \u003ci\u003eViolence Against Women in the US \u003c\/i\u003eis an essential resource for students, scholars, and practitioners.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51018803413335,"sku":"9781032030524","price":34.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781032030524.jpg?v=1750778203","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/violence-against-women-in-the-us-9781032030524","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
