Abstract

Domestic violence is a global phenomenon impacting countless lives. However, most research on the topic is anchored in the Global North. Using South Asia as a case study, we encourage further development of intersectional, comparative research. Such work brings us closer to understanding shared and divergent causes, patterns, and impacts of domestic violence within and across societies. The tendency to treat South Asia monolithically erases nuanced understandings of domestic violence and reduces South Asian women to victims. Our context-specific explorations highlight how marriage, religion and global processes reveal theoretically meaningful variations in women’s experiences of domestic violence.

家庭暴力的跨国比较分析——来自南亚的启示

家庭暴力是一个影响无数生命的全球现象。然而，关于这一主题的大多数研究都集中在全球北方。以南亚为例，我们鼓励进一步开展交叉比较研究。这样的工作使我们更加了解社会内部和社会之间家庭暴力的共同和不同的原因、模式和影响。单一地对待南亚的倾向抹去了对家庭暴力的细微理解，并将南亚妇女减少为受害者。我们的具体背景探索突出了婚姻，宗教和全球进程如何揭示了妇女家庭暴力经历的理论上有意义的变化。

期刊介绍： The main aim of Feminist Criminology is to focus on research related to women, girls and crime. The scope includes research on women working in the criminal justice profession, women as offenders and how they are dealt with in the criminal justice system, women as victims, and theories and tests of theories related to women and crime. The feminist critique of criminology incorporates a perspective that the paths to crime differ for males and females, thus research that uses sex as a control variable often fails to illuminate the factors that predict female criminality. This journal will highlight research that takes a perspective designed to demonstrate the gendered nature of crime and responses to crime.
