Other Titles:	Social Politics
Authors:	Paterson, Stephanie
Keywords:	Policy;Advocacy;Representations of women;Leaving/Staying
Year:	2010
Publisher:	Oxford University Press
Citation:	17 (2), Summer c2010
Notes:	This article examines how Canadian public policy addressing domestic violence against women uses narrow representations of victims, which ultimately increases women's vulnerability and decreases women's safety. The author argues that historically, public policy has focused on women leaving or exiting relationships and not adequately addressed the large issue of reducing or preventing violence.
