内容简介
······
We call it domestic violence. We call it private violence. Sometimes we call it intimate terrorism. But whatever we call it, we generally do not believe it has anything at all to do with us, despite the World Health Organization deeming it a “global epidemic.” In America, domestic violence accounts for 15 percent of all violent crime, and yet it remains locked in silence, even as its tendrils reach unseen into so many of our most pressing national issues, from our economy to our education system, from mass shootings to mass incarceration to #MeToo. We still have not taken the true measure of this problem.
In No Visible Bruises, journalist Rachel Louise Snyder gives context for what we don't know we're seeing. She frames this urgent and immersive account of the scale of domestic violence in our country around key stories that explode the common myths-that if things were bad enough, victims would just leave; that a violent person cannot become nonviolent; that shelter is an adequate response; and most insidiously that violence inside the home is a private matter, sealed from the public sphere and disconnected from other forms of violence. Through the stories of victims, perpetrators, law enforcement, and reform movements from across the country, Snyder explores the real roots of private violence, its far-reaching consequences for society, and what it will take to truly address it.

有空准备今年再读一遍
重要的议题，采访做的挺好。我实在喜欢不起来她的文风，很啰嗦，没什么逻辑，时不时会讲来回话或者扯一些无关的信息。但是讲家庭暴力的非虚构真的太少了，她提供的信息需要被更多的人了解，念及这点，又觉得忍着文字的不通达也值得读读。
虽然讲的是美国的故事，但是每一个人都应该读的一本书！
太可怕了，以至不敢细读
