Violence Against Women: Intersectional Case Studies

By Ciera E Schoonover, Anne D Troy, Paul Thomas Clements

Violence Against Women: Intersectional Case Studies provides a critical, in-depth examination of intimate partner violence as it is shaped by intersecting identities such as race, gender identity, age, socioeconomic status, and group affiliation.

Each chapter offers helpful background information on a specific identity category, followed by multiple case scenarios and guided discussions that illustrate how particular forms of violence may manifest in real-life contexts. This approach equips readers to better recognize, respond to, and prevent violence in diverse communities.

Key topics include:

- Violence as it manifests across the lifespan of women and girls

- Identity-based risk factors including cultural background and issues of faith

- Intimate partner violence in sapphic relationships

- Instances in which the victim of violence becomes the offender

- Considerations for technology and social media's role in violent interactions

- Abuse dynamics and interventions within social groups and workplaces

This comprehensive and accessible resource is ideal for students and professionals seeking a nuanced, multidisciplinary understanding of violence against women in its many forms.
