Each story is unique and each reason is valid. The author \u003cb\u003eDr. Oluchi Arowosafe\u003c\/b\u003e strongly opined that blaming the victim is the wrong approach, stating that no matter how common the belief is, maintaining that no one deserves to be or enjoys being abused and that leaving a violent relationship is most often the most dangerous time for the victim. She maintains that by repeatedly asking this same question \u003cem\u003e(Why doesn't she just leave?), \u003c\/em\u003e the society continues to re-victimize the victim by pinning the responsibility squarely on her. The author opines that that the blame should be shifted to the perpetrator. The author equally indicates that by asking this question the society makes the problem to be the victim's and the solution to be her responsibility, totally absolving the criminal justice system and the social institutions their responsibilities of protecting victims of domestic violence. She opined that for victims to safely leave abusive situations, the society at large must cooperatively work to protect them and equally hold these perpetrators of violence accountable.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Oluchi Otti\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Outskirts Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/27\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 72\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.24lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.15d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781432760557\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Outskirts Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45056836305011,"sku":"9781432760557","price":17.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/files\/img_5e582a96-f704-4e6f-a899-048cf6d0890c.jpg?v=1780163835","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/why-doesnt-she-just-leave-understanding-why-women-stay-in-abusive-relationships-9781432760557","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
