Description:

By investigating the harms experienced by the victims/survivors of domestic violence, this work studies the limits of what domestic violence law can - and can't - do. It illustrates the ways cultural norms and bureaucratic procedures work to unravel laws designed to protect the safety of society's most vulnerable people.
