Reframing Domestic Violence Law And Policy: An Anti-Essentialist Proposal, Leigh Goodmark May 2014

Reframing Domestic Violence Law And Policy: An Anti-Essentialist Proposal, Leigh Goodmark

Leigh S. Goodmark

The theoretical underpinnings of domestic violence law and policy largely are to blame for this excessively narrow and problematic view of domestic violence.
