We call it domestic violence. 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.

In No Visible Bruises, 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.

用户评价

写得非常好。不是一味的讲令人心碎的故事 (god knows that we r in no shortage of that...)，而是从各个可能的角度来看这个现象，see how it happened, and what can we do about it. 记了不少笔记，学到了不少，思考了很多之前没想过的事情。希望能得个普利策奖。

作者最后强行hopeful了一把。我还是很悲观。 现在有反家暴法很好，但是仔细想想施暴者的行为如果是在第三方身上，很容易就被会定罪了；但就因为是施加在亲密伴侣身上，包括警察、法院等整个系统都倾向于downplay暴力。 非常敬佩致力于帮助保护家暴受害者的人和机构。
