520    This book offers new perspectives on gender-based violence
       in three regions where the subject has been taboo in 
       everyday discourse often due to patriarchal cultural norms
       that limit women?s autonomy. The contributions to this 
       book provide rare insight into not only the levels and the
       socio-demographic determinants of domestic violence, but 
       topics ranging from men?s attitudes toward wife beating; 
       domestic violence-related adolescent deaths, and women?s 
       health problems due to sexual and physical abuse. With a 
       comprehensive introduction that provides a comparative 
       international research framework for discussing gender-
       based violence in these three unique regions, this volume 
       provides a key basis for understanding gender-based 
       violence on a more global level. Part I, on Africa, covers
       men?s attitudes towards domestic violence, the impact of 
       poverty and fertility, the association between adolescent 
       deaths and domestic violence, and the link between 
       domestic abuse and HIV. Part II, on the Middle East, 
       covers the importance of consanguinity on domestic 
       violence in Egypt and Jordan, the effects of physical 
       abuse on reproductive health, and the link between 
       political unrests and women?s experience and attitudes 
       towards domestic violence. Part III, on India, shows how 
       sexual abuse puts women at risk of reproductive tract 
       infections and sexually transmitted infections, as well as
       the role of gender norms in wife abuse and the role of 
       youth aggressive behavior in nonconsensual sex. With such 
       a deep and broad coverage of factors of intimate partner 
       abuse, this book serves as a reference document for 
       researchers, decision-makers, and organizations that are 
       searching for ways to reduce gender-based domestic 
       violence. This book is of interest for researchers in 
       Criminology and Criminal Justice, as well as Sociology, 
       Social Work, Public Health and Human Rights
