- Description
- What do the Catholic Church, college sports, Hollywood, prisons, the military, fraternities and politics have in common? All have extraordinarily high rates of sexual and intimate partner violence and child sexual abuse. This book looks at the problem of sexual and intimate partner violence through cases, observing the role that institutions play in facilitating and perpetuating gender based violence and provides an understanding about the ways in which institutional structures create an environment that facilitates and perpetuates gender based violence. The authors also discuss the interpersonal dimensions and individual responses to sexual violence within which the #MeToo movement has developed.
