Family members, friends, coworkers and neighbors are often the
first to know that a woman has been abused by an intimate male
partner. What is the proper course of action for those with
knowledge of abuse? Using a wide range of empirical data from
international sources, Renate Klein documents informal third
parties as the first port of call, sources of support and
interference, and gatekeepers to formal services. Family and social
network members disrupt ongoing assaults, respond to disclosures of
abuse and provide solace and practical help. These networks do not
always side with victims, however, and may either sympathize with
or actively support perpetrators. Klein illuminates the
complexities of these contingent situations. Her analysis
highlights the potential of informal third parties for effective
intervention, demonstrating their significant role in promoting
societies free from rape and domestic violence.
