Decade after decade, violence against women has gained more
attention from scholars, policy makers, and the general public.
Social scientists in particular have contributed significant
empirical and theoretical understandings to this issue. Strikingly,
scant attention has focused on the victimization of women who want
to leave their hostile partners. This groundbreaking work
challenges the perception that rural communities are safe havens
from the brutality of urban living. Identifying hidden crimes of
economic blackmail and psychological mistreatment, and the complex
relationship between patriarchy and abuse, Walter S. DeKeseredy and
Martin D. Schwartz propose concrete and effective solutions, giving
voice to women who have often suffered in silence. ""Dangerous
Exits"" focuses on women living in rural America who are at great
risk of sexual assault, beatings, and death during and immediately
after separation or divorce.
