'This is a wonderful, thought provoking, collection of research at the forefront of gender based violence studies. Lombard shows through this Handbook how different forms of gendered violence follow patterns in terms of how they become identified and responded to. Crucially, the book also identifies areas for transformation and opportunities for action. I recommend this book for researchers, policy makers, practitioners and advanced level students who want a thorough overview of up to date research on gendered violence written by those doing cutting edge research in the field.' - Professor Nicole Westmarland, Director, Durham University Centre for Research into Violence and Abuse, Durham University 'This handbook is a must-read for every gender violence researcher, practitioner, and student. Lombard has brought together in one volume contributions by an esteemed and diverse groups of scholars, whose work convincingly demonstrates that gender-based violence can be prevented and remedied only by scrutinizing is multiple manifestations through an intersectional and interdisciplinary lens.' - Claire Renzetti, Department of Sociology and Center for Research on Violence Against Women, University of Kentucky, USA
