Publisher's Synopsis
"This book represents a critical contribution to the academic and policy-oriented discourse on this subject. With few comprehensive studies available on honor-based crimes, this work fills a glaring gap in the literature, providing a nuanced and in-depth analysis of the ideological, cultural, and legal factors that underpin honor killings globally. By bringing together diverse perspectives from law, sociology, psychology, and human rights advocacy, this book seeks to shed light on an issue often hidden in plain sight"--.
