Books by Renate Klein

With examples from throughout Europe and the United States, the contributors to this volume explore how gender violence is framed through language and what this means for research and policy. Language shapes responses to abuse and approaches to perpetrators and interfaces with national debates about gender, violence, and social change.

This book examines the informal social context of rape and domestic violence against women. Renate Klein explores the complex development of responses to domestic violence, emphasizing the critical role of informal third parties as agents for intervention and social change.
