Book Discussion: No Visible Bruises: What We Don’t Know About Domestic Violence Can Kill Us, by Rachel Louise Snyder

Topics:
  • Domestic Violence
  • Seminar

Join the LALL book discussion group as we read and discuss No Visible Bruises: What We Don't Know About Domestic Violence Can Kill Us, Rachel Louise Snyder's investigation into the true scope of domestic violence, revealing how the roots of this social crisis are buried behind closed doors.

• In America, domestic violence accounts for 15% of all violent crime, yet it remains locked in silence.
• By framing this immersive account of the scale of domestic violence around the stories of victims, perpetrators, law enforcement, and reform movements from across the country, journalist Snyder gives context for what we don't know or realize we are seeing.
• Snyder explores the real roots of private violence, its far-reaching consequences for society, and what it will take to truly address it.
• October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month.
