Women, violence, and the media

About this book

Through the lens of feminist criminology, this volume examines the complex interrelationship of women, violence, and media presentations. The book is divided into three sections: the first section lays the groundwork for the volume by examining the print media's presentation of gendered violence; the second section explores aspects of femicide, including mass murder incidents, domestic violence, and wartime sexual violence in reality an on television; the third section focuses on efforts to replace masculine assumptions with constructive approaches to imagining women. -- from Back Cover.
