A tour de force.” -Eve Ensler "Terrifying, courageous reportage from our internal war zone." -Andrew Solomon "Extraordinary." -New York Times ,“Editors' Choice” “Gut-wrenching, required reading.” -Esquire "Compulsively readable . . . It will save lives." -Washington Post “Essential, devastating reading.” -Cheryl Strayed, New York Times Book Review An award-winning journalist's intimate investigation of the true scope of domestic violence, revealing how the roots of America's most pressing social crises are buried in abuse that happens behind closed doors. We call it domestic violence. We call it private violence. Sometimes we call it intimate terrorism. But whatever we call it, we generally do not believe it has anything at all to do with us, despite the World Health Organization deeming it a “global epidemic.” In America, domestic violence accounts for 15 percent of all violent crime, and yet it remains locked in silence, even as its tendrils reach unseen into so many of our most pressing national issues, from our economy to our education system, from mass shootings to mass incarceration to #MeToo. We still have not taken the true measure of this problem. In No Visible Bruises, journalist Rachel Louise Snyder gives context for what we don't know we're seeing. She frames this urgent and immersive account of the scale of domestic violence in our country around key stories that explode the common myths-that if things were bad enough, victims would just leave; that a violent person cannot become nonviolent; that shelter is an adequate response; and most insidiously that violence inside the home is a private matter, sealed from the public sphere and disconnected from other forms of violence. Through the stories of victims, perpetrators, law enforcement, and reform movements from across the country, Snyder explores the real roots of private violence, its far-reaching consequences for society, and what it will take to truly address it.

Languages : en
Pages : 52
Book Description
Kellie Jo Holly compiled "Domestic Violence Safety Plan - A comprehensive plan that will keep you safer whether you stay or leave" after reviewing several safety plans available from domestic violence programs across the United States. She found the plans to be useful, but no plan was comprehensive, so Kellie decided to create the safety plan she wished someone had given her. This is the second edition of that comprehensive safety plan and it includes planning for social network use after leaving the abusive relationship. This is a comprehensive domestic violence and abuse safety planning workbook. It is designed to keep you safer whether you choose to leave or remain in your abusive relationship or marriage. It is as important to protect yourself from the unseen abuses as well as the bruises you will most certainly receive if you choose to stay in your abusive relationship. Verbal, mental, and emotional abuse is domestic violence - you need a plan to keep your body and mind safe. If you already experienced physical assault, it is important to leave the relationship as soon as you can. However, leaving immediately and permanently may not always be possible. The goal of this safety plan is to keep you safer until you can, or decide to, permanently leave your abuser. Many people recommend this Domestic Violence Safety Plan to counselors, crisis line volunteers, nurses and triage workers, domestic violence groups and anyone who regularly talks with victims of domestic violence and abuse. Kellie wants victims of abuse to use this plan as the first step to healing from domestic violence and abuse.
Crime, Criminal Justice and Religion
Author: Philip BirchPublisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1000821544
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 247
Book Description
Crime, Criminal Justice and Religion: A Critical Appraisal seeks to bridge a gap in the examination of crime and criminal justice by taking both a historical and a contemporary lens to explore the influence of religion. Offering unique perspectives that consider the impact on modern-day policy and practice, the book scrutinises a range of issues such as abortion, hate crime and desistance as well as reflecting upon the influence religion can have on criminal justice professions. The book acts to renew the importance of, and recognise, the influence and impact religion has in terms of how we view and ultimately address crime and deliver criminal justice. One of the first books to cover the area of crime, criminal justice and religion, the book is split into three parts, with part 1 - 'Contextualising Crime, Criminal Justice and Religion' - providing an introduction to crime, criminal justice and religion, and reflections on the role religion has had, and continues to have, in how crime is understood and how we respond to it. Part 2 - 'Appraisal of Institutions and Professional Practice' - considers the issue of religion through institutions and professions of criminal justice, such as the police and legal profession, while part 3 - 'Appraisal of Contemporary Issues' - explores a range of crime and criminal justice issues in on which religion has had an impact, such as the death penalty and terrorism. Crime, Criminal Justice and Religion will be of primary interest to academics, researchers and students in criminology, law, sociology, psychology, social policy and related Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences disciplines. It will also be of interest to theologians, both as scholars and practitioners. The book is a body of work that will appeal at an international level and will also be a key resource for a range of practitioners across the globe working on issues concerning crime and criminal justice.
