Home Truths About Domestic Violence: Feminist Influences On Policy And Practice A Reader

---

Edited by Jalna Hanmer and Catherine Itzin, with Sheila Quaid and Debra Wigglesworth, this reader critically examines how feminist theory and activism have shaped understandings of, and responses to, domestic violence in policy and practice. Published by Routledge, the collection brings together key essays and research from leading feminist scholars and practitioners to challenge the historical framing of domestic violence as a “private matter” and to reposition it as a structural issue rooted in gender inequality and power relations. The book traces the evolution of feminist interventions, including the establishment of refuges, the development of women-centered services, and the impact of feminist advocacy on legal reform, policing, and social work practice. It also analyzes tensions and debates within feminism itself, as well as resistance from mainstream institutions, in implementing survivor-centered and gender-responsive approaches. Intended for academics, students, policymakers, social workers, and activists in the fields of gender studies, social policy, criminology, and domestic violence intervention, this reader serves as both a historical record of feminist contributions and a critical resource for understanding how theory translates into practice in addressing violence against women.
