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.
