Family Violence Initiative

The FVI consists of a diverse "working group" of scholars with an interest in studying family violence (domestic or partner violence, child maltreatment, elder abuse, etc.) from a variety of theoretical and methodological perspectives. We are committed to both scholarly and applied work. There are, thus, many opportunities for involvement and collaboration with students and members of the community alike.
