CJRC researcher and lecturer\u00a0Associate Professor Molly Dragiewicz<\/a>, \u00a0Adjunct Professor Walter DeKeseredy<\/a>\u00a0(West Virginia University)\u00a0and Professor Martin Schwartz<\/a> (Ohio University) have co-authored a recently published book titled\u00a0“Abusive Endings: Separation and Divorce Violence against Women”.\u00a0<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

Abusive Endings<\/i>\u00a0offers a thorough analysis of the social-science literature on one of the most significant threats to the health and well-being of women today\u2014abuse at the hands of their male partners. The authors provide a moving description of why and how men abuse women in myriad ways during and after a separation or divorce. The material is punctuated with the stories and voices of both perpetrators and survivors of abuse, as told to the authors over many years of fieldwork. Written in a highly readable fashion, this book will be a useful resource for researchers, practitioners, activists, and policy makers.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhy don’t they leave?” is perhaps the most common response to hearing about men\u2019s violence against women. In this detailed analysis, Walter DeKeseredy<\/a>, Molly Dragiewicz<\/a>, and Martin Schwartz\u2014three of the most thoughtful researchers we have\u2014offer a painfully precise empirical answer: because women are most vulnerable to violence when the relationship ends. A vital empirical addition to a heartbreaking literature.<\/em>\u201d\u2014 Michael Kimmel, Distinguished Professor of Sociology and Gender Studies, SUNY Stony Brook<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIf you find yourself crying out \u2018Why does this keep happening?\u2019 after reading yet another gruesome headline about a domestic-violence homicide, read this fascinating book. The authors have assembled a treasure trove of research-backed insight into the ongoing tragedy of men\u2019s violence against the women they claim to love or have loved.\u00a0Abusive Endings\u00a0is a tremendous resource for domestic- and sexual-violence advocates, law enforcement, researchers, and policymakers, but also for anyone who wants to understand the ideologies of gender and power that help perpetuate this terribly sad and persistent problem.\u201d<\/em>\u2014Jackson Katz, PhD, author of\u00a0The Macho Paradox: Why Some Men Hurt Women and How All Men Can Help<\/i><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cAbusive Endings\u00a0is an important work that sheds much-needed light on the dynamics of violence against women as they seek to exit abusive relationships. DeKeseredy, Dragiewicz, and Schwartz have once again provided an invaluable resource for educators, policymakers, and practitioners.<\/em>\u201d\u2014\u00a0Jody Miller, author of\u00a0Getting Played: African American Girls, Urban Inequality, and Gendered Violence<\/i><\/strong><\/p>\n
