Offering an analysis of the theoretical assumptions framing the study of violence, this book provides insight into the contradictory implications of the mandatory and pro-arrest policies enacted in the 1980s and 1990s. It is for scholars and professionals working in the fields of criminal justice, sociology, women's studies, and social work.

Spanning fields from poststructuralism, feminism, queer theory, postcolonialism, and cultural studies, the contributors ask - what does ""auteurship"" look like today in light of new critical developments in the film studies?
