Description

Preventing Intimate Partner Violence Interdisciplinary Perspectives by Claire Renzetti, Diane Follingstad and Ann Coker is a comprehensive exploration of innovative strategies and programs for preventing intimate partner violence (IPV). The authors bring together researchers and practitioners from diverse fields to examine effective prevention efforts, with a particular focus on underserved groups. They discuss primary prevention programs targeting adolescents and young adults, as well as strategies designed to engage men and boys, IPV screening in different settings, the impact of criminalization on minority populations, restorative justice programs, interventions for women who use violence, and innovative shelter programming. This book highlights the gaps in knowledge about effective prevention and identifies promising future directions for prevention research and strategies.
