- Notes:
- This inset map purports to show "Wife-Beating and Marital Rape" in the early 1990s, based on two sources: "U.S. Department of State" and "authors' judgment." There are four categories: "no data;" "reported as rare" (Norway, Ivory Coast, Laos, Madagascar); "reported as significant" (e.g., Russia, Iran, much of Europe); and the most serious, "widespread" (including the U.S., Britain, Canada and Australia). "The supporting text notes that 'records are haphazard and scarcely scientific," which makes the decision to produce the map surprising, not least as widespread, significant and rare are particularly subjective criteria and are not explained." Black 1997a, 72.
This inset map appears in a "radical work given wide readership by its publication in paperback and by Penguin." Ibid., 69. For another map from the same work, see ID #1399.01, "Major Chemical Accidents/Incidents reported 1986-92."
