In The Victimization of Women, Michelle Meloy and Susan Miller
present a balanced, comprehensive, and objective summary of the
most significant research on the victimizations, violence, and
victim politics that disproportionately affect women. They examine
the history of violence against women, the surrounding debates, the
legal reforms and justice system outcomes, the related media and
social-service responses, and the current science on intimate
partner violence, stalking, sexual harassment, sexual assault, and
rape. Plus, they augment these victimization findings with original
research on women convicted of domestic battery and men convicted
of sexual abuse and other sex-related offenses. In these new data
the authors explore the unanticipated consequences associated with
changes to the laws governing domestic violence and the newer forms
of sex-offender legislation. Both of these investigations are based
on qualitative data that involve in-depth offender-based interviews
that probe the circumstances surrounding the arrests and
victimizations involved in the cases, the significant legal issues,
and their experiences with the criminal justice system.
