FORMAT Paperback CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Across many parts of the world, violence inflicted in the name of family honor is attracting an increasing amount of attention. Family honor violence, otherwise known as honor-based violence, is physical force inflicted primarily on women for conduct defined as dishonorable. This book explores these conflicts of honor, how they are triggered, how they are handled, and why some lead to death. Drawing on a range of case studies and employing Donald Blacks concept of social geometry, Execution by Family incorporates and goes beyond patriarchy, culture, and kinship to develop a unified theory of family honor violence. It discusses the "honor belt," a series of countries stretching from north Africa to southeast Asia, in which similar forms of inequality, patriarchy, group authority, and gerontocracy are prevalent and how, within the confines of this inequality, honor violence flourishes. Reviewing survey data and pointing to a multi-pronged, cross-national social movement, the book also discusses the future of honor-based violence.Given the growing awareness of family honor violence, Execution by Family will be of interest to anybody concerned with family conflict, violence, crime, and popular morality. It will be invaluable reading for academics and students in the fields of criminology, criminal justice, sociology, social psychology, and anthropology.

Cooneys discussion of the different social conditions in which family honor takes place and when women are more (or less) at risk of family violence was illuminating. His discussion of womens relationships, closeness, social distance and social time brought home the challenges many women face. All too often, women do not command the influence of other important figures in the family in order to secure their safety because they are socially inferior and experience inequalities – their transgressions are then considered too dishonorable and very few are able to defend them. Overall, this is a very useful book for anybody who is interested in the study of family honor violence".Dr. Mohammad Mazher Idriss, Lecturer in Law, Manchester Metropolitan University, UK Details ISBN0367671441 Author Mark Cooney Publisher Taylor & Francis Ltd Year 2020 ISBN-10 0367671441 ISBN-13 9780367671440 Publication Date 2020-12-18 UK Release Date 2020-12-18 Format Paperback Imprint Routledge Place of Publication London Country of Publication United Kingdom AU Release Date 2020-12-18 NZ Release Date 2020-12-18 Series Routledge Studies in Crime and Society Subtitle A Theory of Honor Violence Pages 236 Alternative 9780815375135 DEWEY 364.1523 Audience Tertiary & Higher Education We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
