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.
