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.

Introduction to Sociology: Understanding Society, Culture,
Socialization, and Belonging features scholarly readings that
familiarize students with the study of society, its focus on the
sources and solutions of social problems, and how contemporary
factors have facilitated engagement with new groups and social
relationships. The collection begins with works by classical and
contemporary sociological thinkers. Students learn how
sociologists' scholarship has helped to establish the direction of
sociological thought and action. Unit II examines the concept of
culture by exploring a subculture based on an animated television
series and a cybercriminal counterculture. In Unit III, students
learn about the concept of socialization through readings that shed
light on how masculinity, femininity, parenthood, and sexuality are
framed, internalized, and replicated through the media. The final
unit underscores the effects felt when a society's member or group
is not deemed as socially important as other members or groups.
Readings address the challenges faced by people of color, disabled
individuals, members of the LGBT community, and homeless
populations. Featuring foundational scholarship alongside diverse,
contemporary viewpoints, Introduction to Sociology is an excellent
text for undergraduate courses in sociology.
