Product Description
This introduction to contemporary social theory examines the way in which the widespread existence of violence against women is explored. A range of theories from liberalism to evolutionary psychology is considered, culminating in the development of a distinctive feminist realist position. The theories discussed are tested against a large scale survey, the findings of which challenge conventional wisdoms as to the patterning of violence in contemporary society.
