Gendered Justice brings a fresh and critical analysis to the
discussion of gender based violence, especially intimate partner
violence. Moving beyond the traditional critique of the criminal
justice system, Garcia and McManimon examine the response of law
enforcement, including an enlightening discussion of orders of
protection, the shelter movement, and progressive approaches to
addressing domestic violence, including family violence courts and
restorative justice programs. Their focus on the response to gender
based violence is unique and fills an important niche for both
scholars and students of gendered violence.
