Preventing Partner Violence: Research and Evidence-Based Intervention Strategies

This book offers data-based analyses from leaders in violence prevention with a strong scientific perspective. The contributors examine a range of violent behaviors that occur in our culture, including child maltreatment, youth violence, intimate partner violence, and suicide. Because evidence shows that a cycle of violence seems to begin with child maltreatment-which includes not only child physical and sexual abuse but also neglect-the contributors examine the possibility of connecting the disparate intervention areas in both research and practice.
