This book chronicles key contemporary developments in the social
scientific study of various types of male-to-female abuse in rural
places and suggests new directions in research, theory, and policy.
The main objective of this book is not to simply provide a dry
recitation of the extant literature on the abuse of rural women in
private places. To be sure, this material is covered, but rural
women's experiences of crimes of the powerful like genocidal rape
and corporate violence against female employees are also examined.
Written by a celebrated expert on the subject, this book considers
woman abuse in a broad context, covering forms of violence such as
physical and sexual assault, coercive control genocidal rape,
abortion bans, forced pregnancy, and corporate forms of violence.
It offers a broad research agenda, that examines the
multidimensional nature of violence against rural women. Drawing on
decades of work in the shelter movement, with activist
organizations, and doing government research, DeKeseredy punctuates
the book with stories and voices of perpetrators and survivors of
abuse. Additionally, what makes this book unique is that it focuses
on the plight of rural women around the world and it introduces a
modified version of Liz Kelly's original continuum of sexual
violence. An accessible and compelling read, this book will appeal
to students and scholars of criminology, sociology, women's
studies, cultural studies, policing, geography and all those
interested in learning about the abuse women face in rural areas.
Walter S. DeKeseredy is Anna Deane Carlson Endowed Chair of Social
Sciences, Director of the Research Center on Violence, and
Professor of Sociology at West Virginia University. He has
published 26 books, over 100 refereed journal articles, and 90
scholarly book chapters on issues such as woman abuse, rural
criminology, and criminological theory.
