The SAGE Handbook of Domestic Violence
About This Book
The field of Domestic Violence research has expanded considerably in the past decade and now includes work conducted by researchers in many different disciplines, notably political science, public health, law, psychology, sociology, criminology, anthropology, family studies, and medicine. The SAGE Handbook of Domestic Violence provides a rich overview of the most important theoretical and empirical work in the field, organized by relationship type. The handbook addresses three major areas of research on domestic violence:
- Violence against partners
- Violence against children
- Violence against other family members.
This Handbook is a unique and timely publication and a long awaited, valuable resource for the vast amount of Domestic Violence research centres and individual researchers across the globe.

Part I Men's Violence Against Women
1 Contesting Femicide: Social Movements and the Politics of Men's Violence against Female Intimate Partners
Definition and Scope of the Problem
Feminicide is a political term. It encompasses more than femicide because it holds responsible not only the male perpetrators but also the state and judicial structures that normalize misogyny. Feminicide connotes not only the murder of women by men because they are women but also indicates state responsibility for these murders whether through the commission of the actual killing, toleration of the perpetratorsā acts of violence, or omission of state responsibility to ensure the safety of its female citizens. (Guatemala Human Rights Commission/USA, 2016)
