Acknowledgements
This book is based on my doctoral dissertation at the University of Bremen and Jacobs University Bremen in Germany. First and foremost, I am very grateful for the financial and institutional support of the Bremen International Graduate School of Social Sciences (BIGSSS), without which I may never have embarked upon the path of doctoral study. My sincerest gratitude goes to Heinz Rothgang and Karin Gottschall for guiding my research and sharing their welfare state expertise with me. I owe Petra Brzank many thanks for her willingness many years ago to meet an American newcomer for coffee in Hamburg’s Hauptbahnhof, and for her continuing mentorship in the field of violence against women. A research stay in Norway greatly enriched both my doctoral work and my ancestral connection to the country. Tusen takk to Lars Kristofersen and Jon Ivar Elstad of NOVA in Oslo, as well as to Terje Eikemo of the Norwegian University of Science and Technology in Trondheim, for their t
