This book examines the extent to which social position impacts
exposure to intimate partner violence (IPV) and whether women with
IPV exposure are more vulnerable to social inequities in health. At
the intersection of sociological theories on health, gender, and
policy, this book explores these issues against the social policy
contexts of the United States, Germany, and Norway. It applies a
conceptual framework which argues that differential exposure to IPV
and differential vulnerability to poor health are two primary
mechanisms driving health inequities for IPV survivors. Empirical
analysis reveals context-specific nuances in the interactions of
social position and IPV exposure in their impact on health, and
suggests that encouraging women's economic independence and
ensuring access to health care are vital policy intervention points
for reducing the health inequities of IPV survivors. This book
offers a cross-national comparative look at the role of social
policy in the lives of IPV survivors, highlighting the effects of
various policy approaches in three modern welfare states and
suggesting policy implications.
