"Honour related violence is generally associated with crimes committed by people from the Middle East and adjacent areas. Perpetrators sometimes justify their deeds saying that they 'had to' restore their honour. Theorists have argued that men from this area exclusively correlate honour with the behavior of their womenfolk, which they use as a pretext to further oppress and dominate women. Due to large-scale migration western societies have become acquainted with honour related violence and honour killings. In this book, Robert Ermers addresses a number of questions related to honour related violence, including the use of predominantly negative frames regarding the cultural and social background of non-westerners and immigrants. In many publications, including the press, crimes committed by non-western individuals are often attributed to their cultural background rather than specific contexts or circumstances, in contrast to western cases. Vague and insufficiently defined concepts such as 'honour' and 'culture' strongly contribute to this bias. Honour Related Violence deals with honour and honour related violence, its background and contexts, what honour is, and what it is not. It examines stigma in relation to honour and based upon stigma research, reliably explains, analyses, and predicts honour related violence. The book argues that people all over the world can be stigmatized, excluded and ostracized when they commit misbehaviour, and therefore find themselves in a state of dishonour which can lead to honour related violence. A timely intervention into the psychology of honour related violence, this is an essential resource for students and researcher in the fields of social psychology, sociology, law, criminology and anthropology."--Provided by publisher.
