BOOK LAUNCH

RESPONDING TO DOMESTIC VIOLENCE - DIFFICULT CONVERSATIONS
by Kate Seymour, Sarah Wendt and Kris Natalier 

Series: Routledge Advances in Health and Social Policy

This book reflects on the problem of domestic violence by thinking critically about policy and practice responses. Moving beyond accounts of men’s violence embedded in metaphors of ‘good’ and ‘bad men’, or as the expressions of particular structures and practices, it initiates challenging conversations concerning the ways in which our embeddedness in gendered discourses shapes the responses we imagine are possible and desirable. It will be of interest to scholars and students of gender studies, sociology, health, and social care.
