Partner violence is a serious, preventable public health concern affecting millions of Americans. According to the Bureau of Justice, intimate partner violence accounted for 30% of female homicides and 5% of male homicides between 2001 and 2005. In addition, data shows a strong correlation between partner abuse and child maltreatment. Researchers indicate that counseling was helpful for most victims.
In this conference, Dr. Ratliff will review the impact of partner violence on adults and children and examine the link between partner violence and child maltreatment. In addition, she will offer suggestions for treatment and counseling recommendations.
