Warnings to Women: Police Advice and Women’s Safety in Britain
Author: Elizabeth Stanko
Source: Violence Against Women 1996 2: 5
ABSTRACT: ‘This article examines police and other governmental crime prevention literature advising women about personal safety. Through a radical feminist perspective, my personal narrative includes a historical context for developments in Britain that give rise to a social and political climate within which individual responsibility for avoiding violence is paramount.
The purpose of this article is to raise theoretical questions about the effect of this context on us, as women. As a feminist, I also argue for the usefulness of a radical feminist perspective to inform our thinking about avoiding men’s violence and ensuring women’s safety.’
