About This Book
This cutting-edge volume advances theories, methodologies and policy analyses relating to various forms of violence against women. Topics covered include: the nature, importance and variety of cultural contexts in which violence occurs, is reproduced and may be challenged or changed; the nature and variety of sexualized violence; and a range of theoretical perspectives on perpetrators of violence.
Taking an interdisciplinary focus on issues that affect community and state responses, the book includes individual accounts, and incorporates themes related to authority, sexual proprietariness, asymmetry of violence, socialization, patterns and deviations of victims and offenders, and social and cultural contexts.

T
A
he
area
of
violence
against
women
has
become
increasingly
narrow
and
self-referential.
Since
the
initial
phase
of
development,
when
new
theoretical
ideas
and
methodological
approaches
were
introduced
and
expanded,
the
field
of
study
has
become
more
rigid
in
scope
and
orientation.
In
many
of
the
subareas
or
subdisciplines
involved,
an
unwarranted
confidence
in
theoretical
ideas,
empirical
findings,
and/or
established
ideologies
has
resulted
in
a
circumscrip-
tion
of
the
field
of
study.
Where
this
exists,
it
usually
results
in
a
reluctance
to
further
develop
new
ideas
or
arenas
of
evidence
within
such
subdisciplines
or
schools
of
thought.
There
is
closure,
often
though
not
exclusively
along
disciplinary
lines,
against
ideas
and
evidence
from
outside
the
circumscribed
subdiscipline
in
a
futile
attempt
to
exclude
"foreign"
ideas
and/or
evidence
from
consider-
ation
or
debate.
In
such
a
context,
new
ideas
and
evidence
inevitably
struggle
to
emerge
in
an
ever-narrowing
and
unchanging
circle
of
self-referential
ideas
and
evidence.
