Providing a much-needed perspective on exclusion and
discrimination, this book offers a distinct spatial approach to the
topic of hate studies. Of interest to academics and students of
human geography, criminology, sociology and beyond, the book
highlights enduring, diverse and uneven experiences of hate in
contemporary society. The collection explores the intersecting
experiences of those targeted on the basis of assumed and
historically marginalized identities. It illustrates the role of
specific spaces and places in shaping hate, why space matters for
how hate is encountered and the importance of space in challenging
cultures of hate. This analysis of who is able to use or abuse
space offers a novel insight into discourses of hate and lived
experiences of victimization.
This book takes up the problems of social policy, state
intervention and support in the hard times of austerity introduced
by the Coalition government 2010-15, and continued under the
Conservative government today. At a time when the economy is
growing and pay levels finally rising, the necessity for more cuts
in public expenditure is fiercely contested. The scope of state
services, the levels of support for people in need, and the kinds
of organizations that will deliver the services, will all be
profoundly affected in coming years. The authors and editors assess
some of these consequences visible now in the impact that
expenditure cuts and reorganization have had on many areas of
social policy, and explore the direction of change in the near
future. Austerity Policies evaluates a wide range of changing form
of state services and the transformations involving both the
recipients and those delivering the services. It considers the
past, present and future of austerity as a policy, and the problems
affecting particular groups such as offenders, looked after
children, and professionals such as social care workers and those
engaged with domestic violence. The collection will be of interest
to students and scholars of social policy, criminology, sociology,
politics and media studies.

Same Sex Intimacies offers vivid accounts of the different ways non-heterosexual people have been able to create meaningful intimate relationships for themselves and highlights the role of individual agency and collective endeavour in forging these roles: as friends, partners, parents and as members of communities. This topical book will provide compelling reading for students of the family, sexuality and lesbian and gay studies.

This book is the first to focus on violent and/or 'abusive'
behaviours in lesbian, gay, bisexual and/or transgender, non-binary
gender or genderqueer people's intimate relationships. It provides
fresh empirical data from a comprehensive mixed-methods study and
novel theoretical insights to destabilise and queer existing
narratives about intimate partner violence and abuse (IPVA). Key to
the analysis, the book argues, is the extent to which Michael
Johnson's landmark typology of IPVA can be used to make sense of
the survey data and accounts of 'abusive' behaviours given by LGB
and/or T+ participants. As well as calling for IPVA scholars to
challenge heteronormativity and cisnormativity and improve IPVA
measurement, this book offers guidance and a new tool to assist
practitioners from a variety of relationships services with
identifying victims/survivors and perpetrators in LGB and/or T+
people's relationships. It will appeal to academics and
practitioners in the field of domestic violence and abuse.
Available Open Access under CC-BY-NC-ND licence This book provides
the first detailed discussion of domestic violence and abuse in
same sex relationships, offering a unique comparison between this
and domestic violence and abuse experienced by heterosexual women
and men. It examines how experiences of domestic violence and abuse
may be shaped by gender, sexuality and age, including whether and
how victims/survivors seek help, and asks, what's love got to do
with it? A pioneering methodology, using both quantitative and
qualitative research, provides a reliable and valid approach that
challenges the heteronormative model in domestic violence research,
policy and practice. The authors develops a new framework of
analysis - practices of love - to explore empirical data. Outlining
the implications of the research for practice and service
development, the book will be of interest to policy makers and
practitioners in the field of domestic violence, especially those
who provide services for sexual minorities, as well as students and
academics interested in issues of domestic and interpersonal
violence.
