In this fi rst book on the subject by a sociologist, Dunn offers a wide-ranging, thought-provoking, and sensitive examination of the lived experience of intimate stalking victimization. In exploring the ways in which we socially construct and confer meaning upon intimate violence, the author draws upon interviews with stalkers and victims, courtroom testimony, analyses of case reports, and an independent survey instrument that reveals ambivalence of the prevailing culture to the problem. Courting Disaster will be valuable in women's studies and counseling courses and a useful text in sociology and criminology.Dunn, Jennifer is the author of 'Courting Disaster, Intimate Stalking, Culture, and Criminal Justice Intimate Stalking, Culture, and Criminal Justice' with ISBN 9780202306629 and ISBN 0202306623.
