ABSTRACT
This research handbook provides an overview of the latest research in the field of gender and violence and more specifically what is known as gender-based violence. The interdisciplinary nature of the subject area is highlighted through authors spanning the academic fields of criminology, social policy, sociology, geography, health, media and law, alongside activists and members of statutory and third sector organisations. The diversity of perspectives highlight that gendered violence is both an age-old and continuing social problem. This edited collection is divided into three sections: broader theoretical discussions of gender and violence; specific forms, representations of, and responses to, gendered violence and conducting research on gendered violence.
