Gendered Justice takes a unique, multi-layered look at the various elements that factor into our understanding of domestic violence and how the criminal justice system handles situations of domestic violence. The book focuses primarily on the role of gender, but also considers socio-economic status and race. Illustrated with case studies throughout, the book introduces major themes, such as the social construction of gender and victimology, as well as topics such as the portrayal of intimate partner violence in the media and how it shapes our understanding of violence.

Industry Reviews

Gendered Justice offers an innovative way of understanding a major social problem that is endemic to American society. Experts in the field and students will find the authors' contribution to be an important resource. -- Walter S. DeKeseredy, University of Ontario Institute of Technology; co-author of Dangerous Exits: Escaping Abusive Relationships in Rural America
Gendered Justice brings a fresh and critical analysis to the discussion of gender based violence, especially intimate partner violence. Moving beyond the traditional critique of the criminal justice system, Garcia and McManimon examine the response of law enforcement, including an enlightening discussion of orders of protection, the shelter movement, and progressive approaches to addressing domestic violence, including family violence courts and restorative justice programs. Their focus on the response to gender based violence is unique and fills an important niche for both scholars and students of gendered violence. -- Angela J. Hattery, PHD, Professor, Women and Gender Studies, George Mason University, Author: Policing Black Bodies: How Black Lives Are Surveilled and How to Work for Change
