Abstract

Intimate violence against women takes many shapes and forms and is endemic to most, if not all, societies. Rural women constitute one high-risk faction, but have historically been given short shrift by the social scientific community. While some men in urban vicinities report adversarial relationships with police, violent men in rural communities are more likely to be protected by an 'ol' boys network'. Furthermore, many femicides committed by Muslim men living in North America, regardless of where they live, are not examples of uncivilized medieval peasants following their traditional values. Following the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and R. W. Edwards, intimate partner violence refers to physical, sexual and psychological assaults committed by a current or former male partner. More recent developments include the crafting of integrated theories of separation/divorce sexual assault that emphasize both the influence of broader patriarchal forces and male peer support.
