Femicide, Criminology and the Law

This book offers an interdisciplinary perspective on femicide, using Israel as a case study. It offers a novel crimino-legal approach to femicide. The work extends its analysis to secondary victims of femicide and examines the applicability of second-tiered relevant legal tools, mostly tort law, as a means for gaining justice for the victims.
