Feminist Advocacy

Feminist Advocacy: Gendered Organizations in Community Based Responses to Domestic Violence examines feminist advocacy in domestic violence organizations including shelters, the justice system, and child protective services. This book provides an analysis of advocacy responses to shelter rules, protective orders, no-drop prosecution, mandatory arrest, dual arrest, failure to protect, and lost custody. Feminist Advocacy is directed toward social work, human services, or criminology students, advocates and practitioners, academic researchers, and those interested in intimate partner violence.
