Notes:	Explores the incidence of Pakistani Muslim male violence against women in both the public and private spheres within the specific region of Bradford, UK and examines the role of cultural traditions and practices in perpetuating and/or alleviating patriarchal violence. Particular attention is paid to the different forms of violence emerging in public and private domains and the ways in which these forms of violence can intersect. Although culture and religion is recognised as playing a key role in condoning certain forms of violence, it is also noted that pressures placed on Muslim women from mainstream white society can be equally oppressive.
