Dark Side of Family: Incest Attacks
Research, Examples and Suggestions from Turkey
by Alanur Çavlin, Filiz Kardam and Hanife Aliefendioğlu (Eds.)
Description
The most devastating aspect of an incestuous abuse is that it takes place in an environment where children are supposed to be protected from outside evil. To combat this crime, which hides behind domestic privacy and is secured by patriarchal power, an approach that focuses on the individual victim rather than the family is a must.
This book brings together the practice and observation of the experts in the field -experts of forensic medicine, demography, media studies, law, psychology and sociology- to inform every involved party of the various aspects of this often overlooked crime, and aims to remind teachers, health personnel, lawyers, judges, prosecutors, media workers, NGOs, family members, and especially the public authority, of their obligation to act up in cases of incestuous abuse.
