Reviews and Awards
"When Men Murder Women is a valuable addition to research in the area of social change including prevention, interventions, policies, and practices to combat violence against women. The social work profession and related fields such as the criminal justice system and educational institutions can gain valuable information and awareness in understanding the cognition, life events, and impulses of men who murder women." -- Social Work
"This book introduces an expansion of the knowledge of contextual and relational factors often found when some men murder some women. It is well organized by type of murder--intimate partner, sexual, or older woman--and it provides a deep understanding of each. Read cover to cover, it is appropriate for amateur researchers and academics alike, particularly in sociology, social psychology, criminology, and correctional populations. It also provides a handy reference for those professionals seeking specific information about these types of murders, and raises many important questions that may help shape future areas of research inquiry, clinical practice, and correctional and rehabilitation policies." --PsycCRITIQUES
