Towards a Global Femicide Index: Counting the Costs: Criminology in Focus
Autor Sandra Walklate, Kate Fitz-Gibbon, Jude McCulloch, JaneMaree Maheren Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 sep 2021
This book considers the need for and the steps to be taken towards creating a meaningful framework for a global index of women’s deaths from intimate partner violence. While there are global indices for deaths that relate to public violence, such as terrorism, there is to date no systematic global count of killings of women by their intimate partners. It considers the possibilities and challenges that arise in counting intimate femicide. It argues that such an exercise needs to avoid narrow empiricism and instead be part of a broader feminist political project aimed at ending violence against women.
This work will be of great interest to students and scholars of criminology, sociology, law, policing, and politics.
