Framing the Victim is a must-read for anyone concerned about the
politics and processes that shape how we understand and respond to
social problems.It illustrates how victims of domestic violence are
"framed" by the dominant media perspectives focused on them and
falsely blamed for a crime committed by someone else. Berns
insightfully critiques the stories that emerge when social problems
are shaped by guidelines that promote entertainment, victim
empowerment, drama, inspiration, and politics. She also offers
recommendations on how to focus less on the victim and more on the
abuser as well as the cultural and social context within which the
violence is learned and tolerated.
