Internet-Based Exercises

• A recent study reports that young Indian women and teenage girls of Native American heritage suffer the highest rates of abuse in the United States. This finding includes African American women who suffer at the hands of their abusers, ranking second in the nation behind Native American women. Research the following site: http://www.jaicja.org and identify the policy changes that attempt to address and remedy this situation.

Concluding Remarks

As we complete the introductory course on Family Violence, identification and prevention; ask yourself what steps you would take if you witnessed abuse either within your own family or that of a friend? How would you respond, would you know who to call? Would you feel guilty for making that call? We will conclude the discussion sections with these questions, be prepared to respond to a roundtable discussion the final week.

Congratulations on taking the first steps in reducing family violence.
