"Reassesses thirty years of domestic violence research and demonstrates three forms of partner violence, distinctive in their origins, effects, and treatments."@en
""In this path-breaking reassessment of thirty years of domestic violence research, sociologist Michael P. Johnson argues that domestic violence is not a unitary phenomenon. Instead, he delineates three major, dramatically different forms of domestic violence-intimate terrorism, violent resistance, and situational couple violence-and shows that the failure to distinguish among these types of partner violence has produced a research literature that is plagued by both overgeneralizations and ostensibly contradictory findings. By creating the theoretical framework to differentiate among types of partner violence, this volume represents the crucial first step to a better understanding of domestic violence among scholars, social scientists, policy makers, and service providers."--Back cover."
