Conceptualizing Separation/Divorce Violence against Women
Conceptualizing Separation/Divorce Violence against Women
This chapter challenges the “common sense” notion that it is essential for a couple to be living apart to be considered separated or divorced. In making this challenge, the authors make the case for a broad, gender-specific definition of separation/divorce violence, one that includes acts of physical violence and psychological means of victimization.
