Knowledge in the field of family and
intimate partner violence is increasing at a dramatic rate—creating tremendous opportunities for repairing lives and families damaged by abuse.
Each issue of Family & Intimate Partner Violence Quarterly (FIPV) summarizes important research on violence, abuse, and maltreatment with a focus on specific
strategies for bringing healing and justice
to the lives of victims. Articles examine
approaches to understanding and
dealing with traditionally recognized forms of maltreatment such as domestic violence and child abuse, as well as Internet crimes and teen dating violence. FIPV offers a much-needed life-span view, from childhood victimization through elder abuse, and thoughtful analyses of intervention and prevention efforts for each population.
- Effective risk assessment tools to inform decisions about the level of danger posed by an abusive partner
- How to recognize the specific risk factors for fatal abuse—and how to use lethality assessment as a basis of safety planning
- Culturally specific issues that can work
to perpetuate violence—or help to
reduce risk
- How medical and legal professionals
have refined and improved their ability to identify and protect abuse survivors
- How abuse and maltreatment affect children—how violence harms healthy development, how it can perpetuate itself from generation to generation, and how to stop the cycle of violence through interventions proven to work
- Ways to help survivors leave abusive relationships
FIPV focuses on practical solutions to preventing abuse and prosecuting it when
it occurs, featuring the approaches now
being tested and proved by the country’s
leading researchers and advocates. We’ll look at how to safely protect child and adult victims with proven social service, health care, and criminal justice system interventions—and how professionals from different fields can best work together to improve the lives of victims and families.
