Violence Against Women and the Law | David Richards | TEDxUConn

What do you know about how the law sees domestic violence? What about in other countries? Do you think domestic violence is a public or private issue, or something in between? This talk explores how we stand on domestic violence, and what we can do to get to improve it.

David Richards is an Associate Professor at the University of Connecticut,
with appointments in both the Department of Political Science
and the Human Rights Institute. He currently serves as Director
of Graduate Studies at the Human Rights Institute. His work focuses
on human rights, and has appeared in a variety of journals and books.
These published works include studies of gender-violence law, the
measurement of government respect for human rights, public support
for torture, economic globalization, and national elections, among others.
His current book, Violence Against Women and the Law, is coauthored
with Jillienne Haglund and uses original data from about 196
countries to examine gender-violence laws globally.

Wanna hear some BS? Check out – “Her husband cut off her hands, now she wants tougher laws in Russia” and you’ll hear some anti Anti-abuse sentiment. Some there don’t want tougher Anti-abuse laws because they say it conflicts with “traditional Russian values”. (Yes, you read that right!!)
