In the United States, one in four women will be victims of domestic
violence each year. Despite the passage of federal legislation on
violence against women beginning in 1994, differences persist
across states in how domestic violence is addressed. Inequality
Across State Lines illuminates the epidemic of domestic violence in
the U.S. through the lens of politics, policy adoption, and policy
implementation. Combining narrative case studies, surveys, and data
analysis, the book discusses the specific factors that explain why
U.S. domestic violence politics and policies have failed to keep
women safe at all income levels, and across racial and ethnic
lines. The book argues that the issue of domestic violence, and how
government responds to it, raises fundamental questions of justice;
gender and racial equality; and the limited efficacy of a
state-by-state and even town-by-town response. This book goes
beyond revealing the vast differences in how states respond to
domestic violence, by offering pathways to reform.
