| Abstract
|
:
|
Every year, at least 1.8 million women in the United States are beaten by their intimate partners. And that is only the number reported physically abused. It does not include those who remain silent, or those for whom the abuse is psychological. In this concise work, a team of writers examines the emotional, physical and sexual abuse of women. Most crucially, "Intimate Violence against Women" offers current research, theory and advocacy on this topic, arming the reader with the knowledge to help herself or others who are being abused. The book presents specific safety recommendations for victims, as well as recommendations for teenagers regarded dating violence. Legal and advocacy resources are included as well. -- From publisher's description.
