“Whether you’re an individual woman looking for help or a reader looking for the truth about the thousands of women who are battered by the men they live with, Next Time, She’ll Be Dead is the one book you should read.” —Gloria Steinem At least 1 in 4 women will be abused during her lifetime—that is 25% of our mothers, daughters, sisters, partners, and friends. Thousands will be killed. As author Ann Jones observes, despite its devastation battering is regarded not as a serious crime, but instead as an inevitable “problem” blandly labeled “domestic violence.” Stories of household assaults and murders are all over the news, but the blame is usually pinned on the woman who is said to have either provoked the attack or failed to “leave.” In this groundbreaking book, Jones points instead to the many factors in society that promote, trivialize, and perpetuate brutality against women: from popular psychology, academic “expertise,” mass media, and pop culture, to the criminal justice system and the law itself. Delving deep into the history, legality, and personal politics of male violence against wives and girlfriends, Next Time, She’ll Be Dead fearlessly reframes the issue. This critically acclaimed masterwork offers productive ways of thinking and speaking about battering and explains what must be done to stop it.

The persistency of violence against women is seriously threatening the fabric of society and is a major social issue, worthy of exploration. The prevailing explanations of how to tackle the more immediate, and well advertised, domestic violence are generally based on preventive measures which attempt to protect the victims against any harms. Most research work and studies on this subject are equally focused on treating violence from the viewpoint of gender issues, leading to conclusion that defending women as victims is the sufficient solution to stop violence, mostly in domestic scene. Since such measures are limited both in scope, enforcability and rigidity a majority of violent incidents remain unaffected by these measures and thus continue to harm communities. These protective measures, at best, serve as short term solution and cannot solve the persistency of violence against women. A more comprehensive and effective solution requires a holistic approach to social aspect of violence against women involving social as well as gender factors that would result in a cause or causes for committing violence. It is the discovery of the underlying factors that can provide a long term solution to general problem of violence against women. The common perception by researchers is that combatting domestic violence necessitates women's economic independence as well as legal protection. An economically independent woman is less likely to be subjected to domestic violence as opposed to staying home mother. According to reaearcher Lin-chi Hsu, University of Washington 2014, economic independence is a function of income level which essentially excludes many wage earners who average around $30,000 annually. "In the household bargaining models, an increase in the woman's potential income increases family violence if her initial bargaining power is low". Interestingly,"A woman with a better outside option, i.e. higher bargaining power is more likely to choose divorce when encountering domestic violence. This is not a desirable alternative. The trade-off for broken family poses different problems such as child obesity and delinquency that may lead to crime of different sort.There are also surveys showing economically independent women are not immune to violence. Even if it were feasible for all women to be economically independent, a desire to control,as human nature, will always lead to violence because economic independence is usually a proxy for a person's relative power in a given social context. Empirically, the effect of the women's income on domestic violence is inconclusive because using a woman's wage as a measurement for her bargaining power is problematic; for example, women's health condition regarding productivity is quite subjective. Researchers conducting survey of 1306 women show "violence from a current or ex-husband or boyfriend was 24.6%, and 9.5%respectively."Economic independence, moreover, does not stop aggressors from committing sexual assault against women particularly in workplaces, learning insitutions, military establishment and elsewhere. Accordingly, violence happens even when women are in positions of relative equality, for example, a man may assault his girlfriend even though both parties are economically independent partners, having comparable income, and are unmarried with no special advantage over one another; yet each party desires to exert power and control. Legal protection measures, such as restraining order, have the drawback of the majority of incidents are unreported to the police. A significant number of unreported incident result from the fear of reprisal and harsher violent behavior; hence, reluctance towards reporting incidents to the police .

Thanks to the Simpson case, domestic violence is no longer a dirty little secret. It remains, however, a devastating problem, and even more, a deadly killer. What is the answer? In 1994, Lou Brown, father of Nicole Brown Simpson, gave us one solution by establishing a foundation in his daughter's name that provides urgently needed funding to battered women's shelters across the country. Now he goes a step further, and with the help of a like-minded pastor and a legal activist who has been battered, offers hope and practical strategies for combating domestic violence. In a book whose first half is geared to support network people like himself--parents, families, friends, both personal and professional, and acquaintances who can and should make a difference--and whose second half is directed at the victims of abuse, here is an action plan for battered women and those around them. Stop Domestic Violence offers a checklist for the victim of domestic violence, from obtaining restraining orders to getting the support network on her side. Here are steps on how to combat battering within families, within communities, within homes and at the legislative level. For Concerned Friends and Family: - What makes these men do it, and is there a cure for them? - Why do women stay? - What can I do to help a battered woman? And for the Victim--How do I: - Get stronger on the inside? - Deal with the legal system? - Stay sane in a shelter? - Stay save and begin recovery? This is a how-to book--practical, easy to use--and it just might save a life.
