CONTENTS

Political, Economic, and Social Determinants of Domestic
Gender-Based-Violence Policy

In the summer of 2008, we had an idea to create a unique dataset on violence against women. We created it and then spent the next six years repeatedly tearing it down and rebuilding it to get the data as correct as we could. Peoples interest in and/or consternation toward the stories our data told gave us the idea for this book. Along the journey, we benefted greatly from the support and criticism of a wide range of people. This is a better book for their counsel. We also worked with a number of research assistants who gave more to the project than we could possibly give back to them, and for their devotion and hard work we are eternally grateful. Well certainly forget someone, but in the following paragraphs we try to thank as many as possible.

First, we want to thank Jennifer Knerr at Paradigm, and ISI series editors Mark Boyer and Shareen Hertel, for supporting us in writing the book we wanted to write, for their counsel on strengthening the final product, and for hanging in there with us during the final reconstruction of the dataset. We also wish to thank the anonymous manuscript reviewers for forcing us to provide a more clear statement of what we wanted to say.

Next, we give our sincere thanks to the many research assistants who helped us code, test, and recode our data. First, special thanks go to Celia Guillard and Stephen Petkis of the University of Connecticut (UConn), who went above and beyond in their assistance with the final data product. Also from UConn we wish to thank Kathleen Adams, Shaznene Hussain, David Schwegman, Jonathan Sykes, and Jack Zachary for all their hard work and dedication to getting things right. From Florida State University, we would like to thank Taylor Lee and Richard Farinas for their fantastic work on the project.

We wish to thank the organizers and participants at the conferences and workshops where we presented our data, methodology, and fndings. We learned so much from our interactions with you. These forums included those sponsored by the American Political Science Association, the Department of Political Science at Emory University, the Economic and Social Rights Research Group at the Human Rights Institute at UConn, the International Human Rights Law Institute at DePaul University College of Law, the International Network on Quantitative Methods for Human Rights and Development, and the Protection Project at the Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies.

A special thanks to the kind folks at UN Women for taking the time to speak with us at length and in person about their work and their own data.

This book is also better off due to advice from K. Chad Clay, David Davis, Natalie Hudson, Manisha Desai, Amanda Kuppers, Kathy Libal, Mohamed Mattar, Heather Turcotte, and Richard Wilson.

Last, but not at all least

David Richards wishes to thank his marvelous wife, Megan, for putting up with him throughout the writing process. David dedicates his portion of the book to his daughter Emily Elizabeth, with wishes that the world she meets is kinder than the one described in these pages. He owes great gratitude to Mandy Morrill, whose time as a domestic violence caseworker in southwest Missouri gave him an unvarnished view of domestic violences means and costs, as well as a quick education in the limits of the law in providing protection and justice to victims of sexual violence. David also is indebted to the Human Rights Institute at the University of Connecticut for a faculty fellowship in 2012 that allowed him to complete a good deal of his contribution to the book. Finally, thanks to Roscoe, of course.
