The Encyclopedia of Domestic Violence is a modern reference from
the leading international scholars in domestic violence research.
This ground-breaking project has created the first ever publication
of an encyclopedia of domestic violence. The primary goal of the
Encyclopedia is to provide information on a variety of traditional,
as well as breakthrough, issues in this complex phenomenon.
The coverage of the Encyclopedia is broad and diverse,
encompassing the entire life span from infancy to old age. The
entries include the traditional research areas, such as battered
women, child abuse and dating violence. However, this Encyclopedia
is unique in that it includes many under-studied areas of domestic
violence, such as ritual abuse-torture within families, domestic
violence against women with disabilities, pseudo-family violence
and domestic violence within military families. It is also unique
in that it examines cross-cultural perspectives of domestic
violence.
One of the key special features in this Encyclopedia is the
cross-reference section at the end of each entry. This allows the
reader the ability to continue their research of a particular
topic.
This book will be an easy-to-read reference guide on a host of
topics, which are alphabetically arranged. Precautions have been
taken to ensure that the Encyclopedia is not politically slanted;
rather, it is hoped that it will serve as a basic guide to better
understanding the myriad issues surrounding this labyrinthine
topic.
Topics covered include: Victims of Domestic Violence;
Theoretical Perspectives and Correlates to Domestic Violence;
Cross-Cultural Perspectives and Religious Perspectives;
Understudied Areaswithin Domestic Violence Research; Domestic
Violence and the Law; and Child Abuse and Elder Abuse.
