Gendered Justice takes a unique, multi-layered look at the various
elements that factor into our understanding of domestic violence
and how the criminal justice system handles situations of domestic
violence. The book focuses primarily on the role of gender, but
also considers socio-economic status, race, age, education, and the
relationship between the victim and criminal. Illustrated with case
studies throughout, the book introduces major themes, such as the
social construction of gender and victimology, as well as topics
such as the portrayal of intimate partner violence in the media and
how it shapes our understanding of violence.
