"Gender, Power, and Violence gives the reader a better understanding of what factors shape who will be perpetrators, who will be victims, and how organizations respond (or not) when sexual or intimate partner violence or child sexual abuse is reported. Angela J. Hattery and Earl Smith touch on current events that have highlighted the pervasiveness of gender-based violence across the institutions they interrogate throughout the book, including in sports, in the Catholic Church, in the entertainment industry, in the government, and in television journalism."--book jacket
