Silenced Voices: Readings in Violence and Victimization provides students with insightful readings that center on the experiences of women, children, and countless others who are often silenced and victimized in their homes and communities.
This anthology features five distinct units. Unit 1 contains readings that discuss the problem of violence and the crises that occur as a result of recurrent victimization. Unit 2 demonstrates how gender roles and patriarchal societies contribute to violence. Unit 3 addresses the influence of substance abuse, neglect, incarceration, and community violence on victimization. Unit 4 contains readings pertaining to violence, victimization, and delinquency among young women and girls. The final unit addresses the victimization of marginalized populations, including the LGBT, homeless, disabled, and elderly communities, and the effect of their status in society on their personal experiences and their ability to overcome.
A powerful anthology centered on overcoming trauma, Silenced Voices is well suited for courses that focus on criminology, sociology, and racial, gender, and ethnic relations, as well as those that explore the social problems of gender, race, and ethnicity.
