| Summary: | This volume provides the basis for understanding a wide range of interpersonal violence: child abuse; incest; violence in heterosexual, gay and lesbian relationships; acquaintance rape; wife abuse and rape; and elder abuse.

Many chapters take a feminist perspective, addressing the gendered nature of violence. |
