Inhaltsangabe

Nationally representative studies confirm that LGBTQ individuals are at an elevated risk of experiencing intimate partner violence. While many similarities exist between LGBTQ and heterosexual-cisgender intimate partner violence, research has illuminated a variety of unique aspects of LGBTQ intimate partner violence regarding the predictors of perpetration, the specific forms of abuse experienced, barriers to help-seeking for victims, and policy and intervention needs. This is the first book that systematically reviews the literature regarding LGBTQ intimate partner violence, draws key lessons for current practice and policy, and recommends research areas and enhanced methodologies.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

 “This is the definitive book on domestic violence in LGBTQ communities and is destined to be a classic. It is essential reading for academics, practitioners, policymakers, and activists. In fact, everybody who works in this field should have this book because it is such a useful resource and will speak to you on many levels.”—Walter S. DeKeseredy, Anna Deane Carlson Endowed Chair of Social Sciences, Director of the Research Center on Violence, and Professor of Sociology, West Virginia University

“Adam M. Messinger reminds us that although much has changed since the 1980s and '90s—and for the better—a great deal unfortunately remains unchanged. But he shows us the way forward by highlighting the knowledge gaps and suggesting practical solutions for making 'the invisible visible.'  This comprehensive review of research on LGBTQ intimate partner violence will prove invaluable to researchers, practitioners, policymakers, advocates, and survivors.”—Claire M. Renzetti, Judi Conway Patton Endowed Chair for Studies of Violence against Women, and Professor and Chair of Sociology, University of Kentucky
