Male violence against women is a major source of fear, distress, and i njury for women crossing lines of ethnicity, economic status, sexual o rientation, and age. Indeed, despite the underreporting of statistics, acts of violence are everyday events in women's lives, and these acts exert insidious influence even on those individuals who are not direc t targets. No Safe Haven offers an in-depth systematic examination of this problem by focusing on the physical abuse, sexual assault and se xual harassment that many women endure at home, at work, at school, an d in the community. Leading experts review the literature on the preva lence and the physical and psychological effects of each form of viole nce as well as the literature on prevention and treatment.

An exceptional resource about violence against women.,
By A Customer
This review is from: No Safe Haven: Male Violence Against Women at Home, at Work, and in the Community (Paperback)
Here's an exceptional resource about violence against women, created by an American Psychological Association (APA) Task Force on Male Violence Against Women.
It examines in scholarly detail many past studies about the topics of intimate violence, harassment, and rape, yet uses language that remains understandable to the layperson. The authors recognize that violence against women is symptomatic of..."a social climate in which sexual victimization (has become) an almost normative event in women's lives"(p. 152). The book is thorough, understandable, and makes good, practical recommendations for further research, legislation, and social change. I highly recommend it to everyone who is interested in the study of violence against women.
