Klappentext zu „The Victimization of Women “
In The Victimization of Women, Michelle Meloy and Susan Miller present a balanced, comprehensive, and objective summary of the most significant research on the victimizations, violence, and victim politics that disproportionately affect women. They examine the history of violence against women, the surrounding debates, the legal reforms and justice system outcomes, the related media and social-service responses, and the current science on intimate partner violence, stalking, sexual harassment, sexual assault, and rape. Plus, they augment these victimization findings with original research on women convicted of domestic battery and men convicted of sexual abuse and other sex-related offenses. In these new data the authors explore the unanticipated consequences associated with changes to the laws governing domestic violence and the newer forms of sex-offender legislation. Both of these investigations are based on qualitative data that involve in-depth offender-based interviews that probe the circumstances surrounding the arrests and victimizations involved in the cases, the significant legal issues, and their experiences with the criminal justice system.

Rezension zu „The Victimization of Women “
"Meloy and Miller strategically and clearly tackle the complexities and variations in women's victimization through an interdisciplinary lens, making their excellent points with careful documentation and superb 'real life' examples. They appropriately and powerfully take on the media, the police and courts, racism, classism, and anti-feminists. This book will help students think critically about the societal myths, media portrayals, and police and court decisions that blame the victims and exonerate the abusers."--Joanne Belknap, Professor of Sociology, University of Colorado "This book is essential reading for scholars, students, practitioners and policy makers seeking an in-depth and highly intelligible review of the major debates and controversies surrounding male-to-female violence in the United States.
