Reviews

I recommend the book to anyone who is in any way deal with the theme of violence, especially gender-based violence, whether their interest is based on the academic level or practical level... the book can be beneficial to all of us, younger and older girls and women, as a reminder of how to protect ourselves * Ljiljana Stevkovic, Themis, Vol 19 * When Men Murder Women is a valuable addition to research in the area of social change including prevention, interventions, policies, and practices to combat violence against women. * Jacqueline R. Burse, Social Work * For those who work in policing, mental health, prisons, study, or wish to gain a greater insight into the events and perpetrators involved in malefemale murder, this is an important book because of both the detail and the careful synthesis of the different data sources. Above all, this book provides both an informative and engaging read * Eleanor Neyroud, Policing: a Journal of Policy and Practice *


This book introduces an expansion of the knowledge of contextual and relational factors often found when some men murder some women. It is well organized by type of murder--intimate partner, sexual, or older woman--and it provides a deep understanding of each. Read cover to cover, it is appropriate for amateur researchers and academics alike, particularly in sociology, social psychology, criminology, and correctional populations. It also provides a handy reference for those professionals seeking specific information about these types of murders, and raises many important questions that may help shape future areas of research inquiry, clinical practice, and correctional and rehabilitation policies. --PsycCRITIQUES
