Harrison takes an honest and fair look at woman abuse in military communities. These stories are not only told by abused spouses, they are also the narratives of perpetrators, military social workers, police officers, chaplains and supervisors. This book should be required reading for all military personnel., In The First Casualty , Deborah Harrison argues that within the Canadian military an environment exists where violence against women is both encouraged and hidden. A culture exists where military personnel often abuse their partners, with this fact remaining well hidden within the military community. The author uses the courageous voices of women who have survived domestic abuse to end the secrecy and create positive change., In The First Casualty, Deborah Harrison argues that within the Canadian military an environment exists where violence against women is both encouraged and hidden. A culture exists where military personnel often abuse their partners, with this fact remaining well hidden within the military community. The author uses the courageous voices of women who have survived domestic abuse to end the secrecy and create positive change., This work is sophisticated in its discussion of violence against women in the military....The research describes the subtleties and complexities of dealing with domestic violence. That the research and the book exist is a tangible demonstration of how we have moved in our thinking about domestic violence.

Synopsis
Military wives are among the women most vulnerable to abuse in our society: isolated from friends and family in a culture that ostracizes those who speak up, they face desperate financial circumstances and lack professional support in times of crisis. Deborah Harrison and her collaborators interview more than 100 survivors of abuse and their partners in this groundbreaking study of violence against women in military communities. Despite a policy of zero tolerance, abusive behavior continues, fostered by a culture centred on constant preparation for violent conflict and covered up by an ethos that demands members protect one another at all costs. The First Casualty is a riveting account of how military culture contributes to abuse, keeps it secret, and attempts to silence its victims., Military wives are among the women most vulnerable to abuse in our society: isolated from friends and family in a culture that ostracizes those who speak up, they face desperate financial circumstances and lack professional support in times of crisis.

- o***5 (32)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Últimos 6 mesesCompra verificadaThe book was in the condition as described, so I wasn't expecting much. But actually it was in pretty good shape for my standards, I was surprised. Furthermore the book was sent in a cardboard box to protect it from damage during shipment. This box was evidence of the seller's intent to deliver a good product and I will definitely be going to this seller before other in the future.
