N2  - This book not only examines domestic violence but also the larger picture of how politics and processes shape our responses to social problems. Author critiques the stories that emerge when social problems are formed by guidelines that promote entertainment, victim empowerment, drama, inspiration and a political agenda. Bern also provides suggections for constructing a social problem that focuses less on the victim, and more on the abuser as well as the cultural and social context within which violence is learned and tolerated
