The relationship between class and intimate violence against women is much misunderstood. While many studies of intimate violence focus on poor and working-class women, few examine the issue comparatively in terms of class privilege and class disadvantage. James Ptacek draws on in-depth interviews with sixty women from wealthy, professional, working-class, and poor communities to investigate how social class shapes both women' s experiences of violence and the responses of their communities to this violence. Ptacek' s framing of women' s victimization as "social entrapment" links private violence to public responses and connects social inequalities to the dilemmas that women face.
