No visible bruises : what we don't know about domestic violence can kill us / by Snyder, Rachel Louise,author.;

Includes bibliographical references and index.Part I: The end. Little lunatics -- Barnacle siblings -- Whatever he's holding inside -- Daddy always lives -- A bear is coming at you -- This person you love will take your life -- And then they'll pray -- I can't live here anymore -- Systems, accidents, incidents -- And what happens next -- Part II: The beginning. Penance -- Watching violence in a fishbowl -- The fatal peril club -- Clustered at the top -- The haunting presence of the inexplicable -- A superhero's kneecaps -- In the season of unmitigated discovery -- Those who break -- Part III: The middle. In the cracks -- Shelter in place -- In the fire -- Grace under pressure -- Chambering a round -- Free free -- Shadow bodies.Journalist Rachel Louise Snyder gives context for what we don't know we're seeing. She frames this urgent and immersive account of the scale of domestic violence in our country around key stories that explode the common myths -- that if things were bad enough, victims would just leave; that a violent person cannot become nonviolent; that shelter is an adequate response; and, most insidiously, that violence inside the home is a private matter, sealed from the public sphere and disconnected from other forms of violence. Through the stories of victims, perpetrators, law enforcement, and reform movements from across the country, Snyder explores the real roots of private violence, its far-reaching consequences for society, and what it will take to truly address it.

The social dynamics of family violence / by Hattery, Angela.; Smith, Earl,1946-author.;

"This compelling text explores family violence throughout the life course, from child abuse and neglect to intimate partner violence and elder abuse. Paying special attention to the social character and institutional causes of family violence, Hattery and Smith ask students to consider how social inequality, especially gender inequality, contributes to tensions and explosive tendencies in family settings. Students learn about individual preventative measures and are also invited to question the justice of our current social structure, with implications for social policy and reorganization. The second edition features a new chapter focusing on institutionalized violence affecting families of the military and police, as well as a discussion on sports and sexual abuse cases occurring on college campuses. Hattery and Smith also examine violence against women globally and relate this to violence in the United States. Unique coverage of same-sex and multicultural couples, as well as of theory and methods, make this text an essential element of any course considering the sociology of family violence"--Includes bibliographical references and index.

Surviving : Why we stay and how we leave abusive relationships / by Gooden, Beverly,1982-author.;

Includes bibliographical references and index.Library Journal Self-Help Bestseller Winner of the 2023 National Indie Excellence Award in African American Nonfiction Silver Winner of the 2023 Nautilus Book Award A revealing look at why domestic violence victims stay with their abusers...and how they can ultimately leave. And survive. One Saturday morning, Gooden is woken up by her husband shoving her off the bed for no discernible reason. Despite her quick thinking and even quicker footsteps, her husband catches her, his sudden anger inexplicable. No words are exchanged. He begins to strangle her as he has done many times before. With unflinching vulnerability, Gooden outlines in painstaking detail what she had to do to walk away and how others can use her experiences to escape their own abuse, from skimming the grocery money, to squirreling away personal belongings, to navigating a domestic violence shelter. She offers strategies for overcoming the barriers survivors often face, such as money, housing, overcritical social circles, or, most powerfully: love. Uniquely compassionate when it comes to the heartbreak of still loving one's abuser, Gooden shares how she transformed and extended this love outward, using her story to encourage others to choose themselves. The voice and fire behind #WhyIStayed, Bev Gooden is exceptionally positioned to explore the many reasons victims stay in abusive relationships, and how they can muster the resources and motivation to leave. Surviving is unlike any memoir of survivorship, given its nuance, compassion, and candor. Above all, it is an exquisitely powerful testament to Gooden's healing, survivorship, and dedication to helping others do the same.Description based on print version record.Electronic reproduction.
