When Men Murder Women de R. Emerson Dobash

When Men Murder Women: Interpersonal Violence

Autor R. Emerson Dobash, Russell P. Dobash
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 20 mai 2015
In the United States and Great Britain, 20-30% of all homicides involve the killing of a woman by a man, and it is far rarer when a woman is killed by another woman. Unfortunately, this is not a very well understood phenomenon. Most books on the topic discuss serial killings, but those only make up 2% of sexual murder-a sensationalist subset of a subset. There has never before been a comprehensive book that has covered the entire scope of homicide cases in which men murder women.Dobash and Dobash, two seasoned researchers and longtime collaborators in the study of violence against women, reveal in When Men Murder Women what they have learned from a three-year study, which examined and analyzed 866 homicide case files, as well as 200 in-depth interviews taken within prisons.When Men Murder Women offers guidelines for assessing and managing risk to women, and discusses various interventions for male offenders. The result is this essential book for students and researchers in the social sciences studying violence, gender, and crime.

Recenzii

When Men Murder Women is a valuable addition to research in the area of social change including prevention, interventions, policies, and practices to combat violence against women. The social work profession and related fields such as the criminal justice system and educational institutions can gain valuable information and awareness in understanding the cognition, life events, and impulses of men who murder women.
For those who work in policing, mental health, prisons, study, or wish to gain a greater insight into the events and perpetrators involved in malefemale murder, this is an important book because of both the detail and the careful synthesis of the different data sources. Above all, this book provides both an informative and engaging read
When Men Murder Women is a valuable addition to research in the area of social change including prevention, interventions, policies, and practices to combat violence against women.
I recommend the book to anyone who is in any way deal with the theme of violence, especially gender-based violence, whether their interest is based on the academic level or practical level... the book can be beneficial to all of us, younger and older girls and women, as a reminder of how to protect ourselves
When Men Murder Women is a book that may lead to further research on female murder victims which will greatly benefit the field of forensic psychology.
