Defining family violence is problematic. What do we know, with relative certainty, about spouse abuse, child abuse, or elder abuse? What can we do to help, and not harm, victims of family violence?

We know that familial and intimate violence kills, injures, and mutilates its victims physically and psychologically. We know that the social- science community, the legal community, and the public-health commu-nity must integrate their research and their intervention efforts so that we can broaden our current understanding of the causes and consequences of violence and abuse against family members. We know that too little is known about a problem that is too poorly defined and explained in contemporary American society.

Two decades of family violence research have generated information that is used by practitioners in legal, health, and social-service settings. Researchers borrow methods and theory for studying the family violence problem from the major academic disciplines. Explanations for the initiation of abuse, for perceptions of abuse at the community and individual level, and for the multiple responses to incidents of abuse are more comprehensive now than they were a decade ago.

Contributors to this volume represent sociologists, psychologists, public-health nurses, social workers, and legal analysts. Together they advance our knowledge about family violence along two critical dimen-sions: (1) they provide new and sophisticated insights regarding the etiology of the numerous forms of family abuse, and (2) they suggest innovative strategies for alleviating or mitigating the anguish resulting from violence and abuse.

This volume heralds the second generation of domestic abuse research. These studies and essays examine the implications of the victim- or offender-oriented legal and social responses that were engendered by the pioneers of family violence research. Contributors systematically address the intended and unintended consequences of programs and procedures designed to remedy the effect of intimate and familial brutality.
