Breaking Apart Intimate Partner Violence and Abuse provides a
thorough examination of intimate partner violence and abuse,
encompassing the nature, influences, and impact of its presence in
interpersonal relationships. By "pulling together" representative
studies and other evidence-based analyses by researchers and
interventionists, this comprehensive overview surveys the
prevalence, patterns, and common risk factors among a number of
demographics, including women, men, transpeople, partners in
opposite- and same-sex relationships, teen dating partners,
later-life partners and abused partners with disabilities. The
authors also disentangle – that is, "break apart" – the factors
of race, class, gender, sexuality, gender expression and culture by
exploring their effects on experiences of intimate partner violence
and abuse perpetration and victimization. Although less scrutinized
in current literature on the topic, discourse and institutional
barriers to abused women’s well-being and safety are also delved
into, particularly those exacerbated by rural isolation,
non-national status and theologies. The authors supplement their
in-depth overview by highlighting protective measures and resources
throughout, identifying treatments and public health approaches to
violence and abuse intervention and prevention, as well as
incorporating discussion exercises and illustrations that extend
the book’s concepts into real-life settings. In their exploration
of the forms, causes, prevalence, and consequences of intimate
partner violence and abuse among different groups, the authors
address the problem with both nuance and scope. Combined with their
evidence-based recommendations, the book offers valuable insight
for students, researchers, and practitioners in the fields of
domestic and family abuse and intimate partner violence.
