- Description
- In this 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, 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 contradictory findings. The book also gives implications for intervention, prevention and research.
