We call it domestic violence. We call it private violence. Sometimes we call it intimate terrorism.\u00a0But\u00a0whatever we call it, we generally do not believe it has anything at all to do with us, despite the World\u00a0Health<\/a>\u00a0Organization deeming it a \u201cglobal epidemic.\u201d In America, domestic violence accounts for 15 percent of all violent crime, and yet it remains locked in silence, even as its tendrils reach unseen into so many of our most pressing national issues, from our economy to our education system, from mass shootings to mass incarceration to #MeToo. We still have not taken the true measure of this problem.<\/p>\n In\u00a0No Visible Bruises<\/i>, journalist Rachel Louise Snyder gives context for what we don\u2019t know we\u2019re seeing.\u00a0She frames this urgent and immersive account of the scale of domestic violence in our country around key stories that explode the common myths\u2014that if things were bad enough, victims would just leave; that a violent person cannot become nonviolent; that shelter is an adequate response; and most insidiously that violence inside the home is a private matter, sealed from the public sphere and disconnected from other forms of violence.\u00a0Through the stories of victims, perpetrators, law\u00a0enforcement, and reform movements from across the country, Snyder explores the real roots of private violence, its far-reaching consequences for society, and what it will take to truly address it.<\/p>\n Is it checked out?<\/p>\n No worries, we have more titles on the subject.<\/p>\n Framing the\u00a0<\/b>Victim :<\/b>\u00a0Domestic Violence, Media, and Social Problems<\/b><\/a>\u00a0–\u00a0<\/b>HN59.2 .B468 2004<\/p>\n Violent\u00a0<\/b>Partners :<\/b>\u00a0a Breakthrough Plan for Ending the Cycle of Abuse<\/b><\/a>\u00a0–\u00a0<\/b>HV6626.2 .M58 2008<\/p>\n Teen Dating\u00a0<\/b>Violence :<\/b>\u00a0How Peers Affect Risk & Protective Factors<\/b><\/a>\u00a0–\u00a0<\/b>ebook<\/p>\n \u00a0By Christian Boyles<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We call it domestic violence.
