Brownridge investigates groups of women who are particularly vulnerable to violent victimization from an intimate male partner. In the past, there has been a reluctance to address this issue to avoid stereotyping vulnerable groups of women. However, developments in the field, particularly intersectionality theory, which recognizes women’s diversity in experiences of violence, suggest that the time has come to make the study of violence in vulnerable populations a new sub-field in the area. The author identifies where violence on vulnerable populations fits within the field, develops a method for studying vulnerable populations, and brings new knowledge to the field through the analysis original data on eight populations of women who are particularly vulnerable to violence.
