Feminist Criminology
Feminist criminology grew out of the Women’s Movement of the 1970s, in response to the male dominance of mainstream criminology – which meant that not only were women largely excluded from carrying out criminological research, they were also barely considered as subjects of that research. In this volume, Claire Renzetti traces the development of feminist criminology from the 1970s to the present, examining the diversity of feminisms which have de…
Encyclopedia of Interpersonal Violence
Studies show that intimate partner violence (IPV) affects the physical and mental health of victims and the children who witness it. Because IPV is widespread and the consequences, acute and chronic, are serious, health care organizations have encouraged providers to identify patients experiencing IPV and refer them to local resources. To date a number of screening tools have been validated, but research is limited on how provider identification …

The data reveal a serious disparity in help providers' rhetoric and offical policies and the reality of the services available. The paper concludes with sugg…
Studying Partner Abuse in Lesbian Relationships
Research on sensitive topics with a stigmatized and largely closeted population such as lesbians can be a daunting enterprise. Nevertheless, such research is valuable for revealing the serious social problems that lesbians experience, for documentating the extent of these problematic experiences, for uncovering the causes of the problems, and for suggesting solutions. In this article, the author argues that the methodological difficulties inheren…
Violent Betrayal: Partner Abuse in Lesbian Relationships
Based on a nationwide study of violence in lesbian relationships, this comprehensive, accessible volume derives from a common theme expressed by the subjects: the sense of having been betrayed, first by their lovers, and subsequently by a lesbian community which tends to deny the problem when victims seek help. Claire M. Renzetti skillfully addresses several central issues: consequences for victims, batterers and the community as a whole, and wha…
