The authors ask, "can feminist theory be integrated with other
theories" to explain domestic violence? The answer is
No, because feminist theory is about the power imbalances in society and
other theories are about individual characteristics.
No, because social and psychological causes are difficult to integrate into a
single theory of domestic violence.
Yes, because other theories are challenged to explain why domestic
violence persists over time and its most violent characteristics are primarily
perpetrated against women.
No, because feminist theory is too flawed to be useful in explaining
domestic violence.
