Violence Against Women and the Law (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book examines the strength of laws addressing four types of violence against women--rape, marital rape, domestic violence, and sexual harassment--in 196 countries from 2007 to 2010. It analyzes why these laws exist in some places and not others, and why they are stronger or weaker in places where they do exist. The authors have compiled original data that allow them to test various hypotheses related to whether international law drives the enactment of domestic legal protections, and examine the ways in which these legal protections are related to economic, political, and social institutions, and how transnational society affects the presence and strength of these laws.
