Crime, Violence and Masculinities : Research Paths and Understanding
Providing a detailed survey of the author’s work over three decades, this book chronicles Tomsen’s studies of interpersonal violence and masculinities, which initiated new approaches and topic areas and informed related theorising. These novel approaches in social science research sparked new pathways of understanding, which are outlined and evaluated in discussions of contemporary research and theoretical debates regarding masculinities and violence.The work reflects phases of study concerning (1) public (and related “private”) urban male violence; (2) anti-gay/anti-queer assaults and homicides, hate crimes, and the ambivalent official responses to these; (3) the ambiguous views of violence and different masculinities that are generated and circulate in criminal justice systems, and in popular (film and online) culture; and (4) frames of understanding masculine violence that have emerged in recent decades to further explain and address the apparent intractability of much offending, its relationship to related forms of social privilege or disadvantage, and preventive measures and programmes that are intended to counter this. Crime, Violence and Masculinities provides insight into the long-term production of knowledge about masculinity and gendered violence that will benefit readers engaged in researching these topics, as well as those with an interest in research results and their translation into related theory more broadly.

Violence Against Women in the US : Theory, Research and Policy
Analyzing what is known about violence against women, this book centers on the contrast between the U.S.’s historic focus on a criminal legal framework and the human rights lens used globally by feminist activists. Distilling the existing evidence base and literature on violence against women in the United States, this book includes an overview of forms of violence, the prevalence of violence, contexts in which violence occurs, and debates about intervention and prevention.It engages with how human rights frameworks define violence against women as a cause and consequence of women’s inequality, and explores how race, ethnicity, class, citizenship status, and sexual orientation shape experiences of victimization, perpetration, and institutional responses.Chapters synthesize prevalence methods and data, key feminist concepts, impacts and aftermath of violence, what is known about perpetrators, the history of anti-violence activism, violence against women on college campuses and in the media, and how the criminal legal systems respond.Contested issues, such as prostitution and pornography, and the extent to which commercial sex can be understood as a form of, and/or context for, violence against women, are also explored.The book closes with a final chapter offering directions for adopting a human rights approach to ending violence against women in the United States. By offering an analysis of how violence against women has come to be named in activist, policy, and academic arenas, Violence Against Women in the US is an essential resource for students, scholars, and practitioners.

What is the difference between psychological violence and physical violence?
Psychological violence involves the use of words, gestures, or actions to manipulate, control, or intimidate another person. This can include threats, humiliation, and emotional abuse. On the other hand, physical violence involves the use of physical force to cause harm or injury to another person, such as hitting, kicking, or pushing. While both forms of violence can have serious and long-lasting effects on the victim, psychological violence can be more difficult to recognize and address, as it does not leave visible scars.
