520 _aDomestic violence in adolescent romantic relationships is an increasingly important and only recently acknowledged social issue. This book examines what we mean by 'adolescent dating violence', its effects and its causes. With a detailed survey of the current literature on the topic, the authors move on to examine what is known about how best to intervene in, and assess risk for adolescent dating violence. The book provides conceptual frameworks for the design and evaluation of interventions with a focus on developing evidence based practice, as well as a research, practice and policy agenda for consideration. This book will be highly important to policy-makers, practitioners and researchers seeking to understand and intervene in cases of teen dating violence.
