This volume introduces and critiques the various methodologies
employed in current research on domestic violence. By discussing
different methodologies side by side as they are applied to the
same aspect of domestic violence, and by examining diverse
populations (including international samples and sexual
minorities), the editors provide insight into the political,
sociological, and psychological tensions that influence our
understanding of domestic violence. In an integrative pedagogical
style, they demonstrate how methods, results, and interpretative
frames inform current debates in this field, and how such debates
further affect researchers' agendas and preferences. Finally,
building on these insights, the book provides readers with a broad
and balanced approach to selecting the most appropriate methodology
for their inquiries, given the wide range of advantages and
shortcomings.
Developed for classroom use at both introductory and more advanced
levels, each chapter is preceded by learning objectives and
followed by critical-thinking questions. Each topic concludes with
a commentary by the editors that evaluates methodologies by
establishing dialogues between them.
