Routledge Gender, Homicide, and the Politics of Responsibility

Gender, Homicide, and the Politics of Responsibility: Fatal Relationships offers a deep look into how we understand violence against women and the role of men's responsibility. Published by Routledge as part of the Feminist Criminology series, this book examines the tension between personal experiences and political frameworks. It looks at how neoliberal and postfeminist ideas of individual choice and empowerment affect our views on safety and accountability. As violence against women has moved to the forefront of international policy, feminist perspectives have entered mainstream discussions. However, these ideas are often expressed in ways that create political contradictions. This text helps readers navigate these complex intersections, making it a valuable resource for those studying sociology, criminology, and gender studies. It provides a necessary framework for understanding how modern social imperatives shape the way we talk about domestic violence and homicide.
