Home Truths about Domestic Violence: Feminist Influences on Policy and Practice : a ReaderJalna Hanmer, Catherine Itzin While men's violence to women is an everyday culturally supported activity, this reader demonstrates: that men's violence can be curtailed and that women and children can be assisted effectively; that state policies and provision can be improved; and that women can actively participate in the resolution of their difficulties.
