Mann details a community effort to establish a shelter for abused women in a small Ontario municipality. While other literature presents the ostensibly cohesive views of particular interest groups on the issue of domestic violence, Mann exposes the conflicts that actually occur, and the ways these conflicts fuel unintended outcomes. In "Who Owns Domestic Abuse? The Local Politics of a Social Problem," the author ventures bravely into the politically charged debate over the definition of abuse, and emphasizes the fact that 'owning' a problem does not ensure the possession of viable answers. Rather than promoting a particular response to such problems, Mann uses personal accounts of abuse to make a space for the diverse perspectives of abused women and abusive men. She urges activists and intervenors to argue less and listen more. 606 $aWomen's shelters$xPolitical aspects$zOntario$vCase studies 606 $aFamily violence$xGovernment policy$zOntario$vCase studies 606 $aWomen$xAbuse of$zOntario$vCase studies 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aWomen's shelters$xPolitical aspects 615 0$aFamily violence$xGovernment policy 615 0$aWomen$xAbuse of 676 $a305.420971 700 $aMann$b Ruth M$g(Ruth Marie),$f1947-$01035612 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910456179103321 996 $aWho owns domestic abuse$92455403 997 $aUNINA
