| Publisher Description: Since 1998 eighty to ninety percent of the criminal and domestic violence arrests in this country have been men. In California alone, from 1988 through 1998 nearly 450,000 men have gone to jail. Think about it - nearly half a million men incarcerated. And while the numbers aren't as daunting in the rest of the country, the statistics are the same...80-90% of thousands of men have been arrested on what is often flimsy evidence. Although it has been known for years that women are equally violent in domestic relationships, and though it is often they, not the men who initiate the violence, through manipulation of the legal system, they are avoiding arrests. I know it, I lived it. A Call for InJustice recounts the real life story of how this happens. Through the lives of Jim and Jan Avery (not their real names) it exposes the process that has been unleashed upon men for the sins of people that have preceded them. A Call for Injustice is so unbelievably personal and incredibly honest that, to paraphrase one booklover, it nearly begs that you ask permission from the author to read it. |
