Abstract: | This essay outlines the implications for abused women and children living in a society dominated by a high level of social
disruption and examines the various responses to domestic violence when it occurs in the midst of political violence. Attention
is focused on whether or not there are any special problems encountered in such a situation and whether these have particular
implications for women elsewhere. Using Northern Ireland as one example, the essay explores the social conditions impacting
at the familial, community, and state level and assesses the extent to which these provide a pervasive and interactive system
for legitimizing domestic violence. |
