The informative and controversial findings in this book are
based on two path-breaking national surveys of American families.
Both show that while the family may be the central locus of love
and support, it is also the locus of risk for those who are
physically assaulted. The book provides a wealth of information on
gender differences and similarities in violence, and on the effects
of gender roles and inequality.
Two landmark American studies of violence from the National
Family Violence survey form the basis of this book. Both show that
while the family may be the central locus of love and support, it
is also the locus of risk for those who are being physically
assaulted. This is particularly true for women and children, who
are statistically more at risk of assault in their own homes than
on the streets of any American city. Physical Violence in American
Families provides a wealth of information on gender differences and
similarities in violence, and on the effects of gender roles and
inequality. It is essential for anyone doing empirical research or
clinical assessment.
