{"product_id":"9780889204034","title":"Cruel but Not Unusual: Violence in Canadian Families","description":"\u003cp\u003eViolence in families and intimate relationships affects a significant proportion of the population—from very young children to the elderly. Although no one is immune to violence, some groups are particularly vulnerable. \u003ci\u003eCruel but Not Unusual: Violence in Canadian Families\u003c\/i\u003e is the first book to offer a national survey of the latest research and practice, and it reflects on the patriarchal roots and societal conditions in Canada that have led to the long-standing abuse of women and children. While feminist theories provide an overarching framework, a broad range of approaches is offered to examine and respond to critical aspects of this serious social problem. Topics include: systemic oppression of Aboriginal families and communities; violence in a francophone minority context; child corporal punishment; abuse in the lives of people with disabilities; the objectification of older adults; mother blaming; intimate violence in same-sex relationships; and new approaches to solving the problem of violence in Canadian families.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wilfrid Laurier University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47027889635568,"sku":"9780889204034","price":44.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780889204034_p0.jpg?v=1769912805","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780889204034","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
