"I enjoyed reading Execution by Family: A Theory of Honor ViolenceCooney’s discussion of the different social conditions in which family honor takes place and when women are more (or less) at risk of family violence was illuminating. His discussion of women’s relationships, closeness, social distance and social time brought home the challenges many women face. All too often, women do not command the influence of other important figures in the family in order to secure their safety because they are socially inferior and experience inequalities – their ‘transgressions’ are then considered too ‘dishonorable’ and very few are able to defend them. Overall, this is a very useful book for anybody who is interested in the study of family honor violence".
-Dr. Mohammad Mazher Idriss, Lecturer in Law, Manchester Metropolitan University, UK
"Even if your primary concern is with morality or politics, you should welcome what Cooney has done here. If you want to do something about family honor violence, it should help you to have good information about it and about the conditions in which it occurs. Trying to change the world without understanding it first is bound to result in failure."
-Bradley Campbell, California State University, Criminal Law and Criminal Justice Books
