The Epidemiology of Violence Against Women: Crimes, Victims, and Criminals

Violence against women is a public health and human rights issue affecting individuals across cultures, socioeconomic groups, and geographic regions. Examined through an epidemiological lens, such violence reveals patterns in the types of crimes committed, the characteristics and vulnerabilities of victims, and the behaviors of perpetrators. Understanding frequency, risks, and trends is essential for identifying the social, economic, and structural conditions that perpetuate gender-based violence. By analyzing crimes, victims, and criminals, the epidemiology of violence against women provides critical insights for prevention strategies, policy development, and criminal justice interventions that reduce harm and promote safety and equity. The Epidemiology of Violence Against Women: Crimes, Victims, and Criminals explores interdisciplinary perspectives on the origins, effects, and prevention strategies of violence against women. It examines historical contexts of violence, social determinants of vulnerability, legal system reactions, and intelligent technology for crime prevention strategies. This book covers topics such as human rights, domestic violence, and public health, and is a useful resource for criminologists, academicians, researchers, and scientists.
