Abstract:

Domestic violence is an intractable social problem that must be understood in
order to be eradicated. Using theories of indexicality, identity, and
narrative, Andrus presents data from interviews she conducted with victims and
law enforcement, and analyses the narratives of their interactions and the
identities that emerge. She gives insight into law enforcement views on
violence, and prevalent misconceptions, in order to create resources to
improve communication with victim/survivors. She also analyzes the ways in
which identity emerges and is performed via narrative constructions of
domestic violence and encounters between police and victim/survivors. By
giving voice to the victims of domestic violence, this book provides powerful
insights into the ways that ideology and commonplace misconceptions impact the
social construction of domestic violence. It will be invaluable to students
and researchers in discourse analysis, applied linguistics and forensic
linguistics.
