“The second edition of The Handbook of Gender and Violence provides an even more comprehensive survey of the field than the first edition. This intersectional, international compilation belongs in the libraries of not only researchers, but also practitioners and advocates, politicians and policy makers, and of course, survivors. It offers an accessible overview of critically important, usable knowledge about this pressing social problem.”Claire M. Renzetti, Judi Conway Patton Endowed Chair for Studies of Violence Against Women & Professor of Sociology, University of Kentucky, US“This Handbook of Gender and Violence is an essential resource for scholars and students in the field. With its diverse array of topics and its 44 chapters authored by prominent gender and violence scholars, the handbook covers a vast spectrum of topics that together form a comprehensive volume of cutting-edge work. Congratulations on such a major achievement to the editor and all authors!”Carolina Överlien, Professor of Gender-Related Violence and Health, National Knowledge Center for Men's Violence Against Women, Uppsala University, SE
