Domestic violence is an intractable social problem that must be
understood in order to be eradicated. Using theories of
indexicality, identity, and narrative, Andrus presents data from
interviews she conducted with victims and law enforcement, and
analyses the narratives of their interactions and the identities
that emerge. She gives insight into law enforcement views on
violence, and prevalent misconceptions, in order to create
resources to improve communication with victim/survivors. She also
analyzes the ways in which identity emerges and is performed via
narrative constructions of domestic violence and encounters between
police and victim/survivors. By giving voice to the victims of
domestic violence, this book provides powerful insights into the
ways that ideology and commonplace misconceptions impact the social
construction of domestic violence. It will be invaluable to
students and researchers in discourse analysis, applied linguistics
and forensic linguistics.
