The primary goal of society's response to domestic violence is the protection of the victim from further abuse. Recently, the coordinated community response (CCR) has been developed as one example of an approach aimed at reaching this goal. Prior research has generally found support for the model, with male offenders recidivating at lower rates. The current study examines whether a comprehensive, community-based approach is capable of reducing recidivism rates among male and female offenders. Comparisons are made between 70 female and 131 male offenders. Specific attention is given to the intervention process, including differences in service or treatment component completion and recidivism by gender.

Developing accurate and equitable screening protocols can lead to more targeted, efficient, and effective, teen dating violence (TDV) prevention programming. Current TDV screening protocols perform poorly and are rarely implemented, but recent research and policy emphasizes the importance of leveraging more trauma-focused screening measures for improved prevention outcomes. In response, the present study examined which adversities (i.

Background: Screening for elder abuse can cause victims to experience feelings of unpleasantness and/or relive painful memories which can be an ethical concern. Ensuring the safety of all participants/users, in our case long-term care (LTC) residents, is of the utmost importance.
Method: Drawing from approaches used in the intimate partner violence and clinical trials literature, we developed a novel typology of harm and a series of procedures to evaluate any negative consequences that might be incurred as a result of participating in the Piloting the Elder Abuse Suspicion Index-long term care: A Mixed Methods Feasibility Study.

Background: Long-term care (LTC) residents are a previously untested and highly vulnerable population at risk of elder abuse (EA) and its many negative health outcomes. The detection of elder abuse within the LTC context is urgent and time-sensitive.
Objective: The overarching aim of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of implementing the Elder Abuse Suspicion Index - long-term care (EASI-ltc): the first comprehensive detection tool of its kind designed specifically to identify the abuse of cognitively-apt persons living in LTC.

Background: Elder abuse (EA) is a major public health problem and older people living with dementia (PLWD) are not likely to self-report EA. As a result, identification of EA remains low, and providers often miss the opportunity to identify EA during Emergency Department (ED) visits. We present a pilot study on adapting an evidence-informed intervention to motivate PLWD to self-report abuse despite existing cognitive challenges.
