商品描述

Women around the world face substantial barriers to reporting their victimization, and in some contexts, the classical criminal justice response to violence can be muted, corrupted, or even inappropriate. This book discusses the strategies and efforts of advocates and activists to support survivors of intimate partner violence in isolated, rural, tribal and poor communities. It asks questions such as: how do you create safe space for survivors of intimate violence in places where people tend to know each other? And how do you create safe space for survivors in places with few resources or where tribal identity is key to mental health? Drawing on research from the Caribbean, Central America, and New Zealand, this book speaks to criminologists, social workers and those working with victim advocacy communities, on college campuses, and to policymakers who serve rural or tribal areas.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

女性在全球面臨著報告受害情況的重大障礙，而在某些情境中，傳統的刑事司法對暴力的反應可能會受到抑制、腐敗，甚至不當。本書討論了倡導者和活動家在孤立、農村、部落和貧困社區中支持親密伴侶暴力倖存者的策略和努力。它提出了以下問題：如何在彼此熟識的地方為親密暴力的倖存者創造安全空間？以及如何在資源匱乏或部落身份對心理健康至關重要的地方為倖存者創造安全空間？本書借鑒了來自加勒比海、中美洲和紐西蘭的研究，對犯罪學家、社會工作者以及與受害者倡導社區、校園和服務於農村或部落地區的政策制定者進行了探討。
