We call it private violence. Sometimes we call it intimate terrorism. But whatever we call it, we generally do not believe it has anything at all to do with us, despite the World Health Organization deeming it a \"global epidemic.\" In America, domestic violence accounts for 15 percent of all violent crime, and yet it remains locked in silence, even as its tendrils reach unseen into so many of our most pressing national issues, from our economy to our education system, from mass shootings to mass incarceration to #MeToo. We still have not taken the true measure of this problem. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In \u003ci\u003eNo Visible Bruises\u003c\/i\u003e, journalist Rachel Louise Snyder gives context for what we don't know we're seeing. She frames this urgent and immersive account of the scale of domestic violence in our country around key stories that explode the common myths-that if things were bad enough, victims would just leave; that a violent person cannot become nonviolent; that shelter is an adequate response; and most insidiously that violence inside the home is a private matter, sealed from the public sphere and disconnected from other forms of violence. Through the stories of victims, perpetrators, law enforcement, and reform movements from across the country, Snyder explores the real roots of private violence, its far-reaching consequences for society, and what it will take to truly address it.\u003cdiv style=\"display:none\"\u003eISBN-10: 1635570980\u003cbr\u003eISBN-13: 9781635570984\u003cbr\u003eAuthor: Snyder, Rachel Louise\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Bloomsbury Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Paperback (Jun 2020)","offer_id":46081400406213,"sku":"9781635570984","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0708\/6414\/2533\/files\/9781635570984.jpg?v=1776045469","url":"https:\/\/www.inveni.store\/products\/no-visible-bruises-what-we-dont-know-about-domestic-violence-can-kill-us","provider":"Inveni","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
