Essay / Research Paper Abstract
An 8 page paper discussing primary and tertiary levels of prevention of family violence, and the other areas of the community on which family violence can have a negative effect. Prevention measures aimed at lessening the individual and community effect of family violence should have measurable benefits in that area, of course, but they also will spill over into other areas of the community. Effective primary and tertiary prevention interventions can extend to reduced demand on health care services, mental health services and social programs resulting from economic stagnation. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
