Abstract:
Domestic violence occurs across many levels of society. Usually the focus has been on individual victims and batterers after the violence has happened. A new approach sees the violence as a preventable public health problem. The focus moves away from the abused and abuser to the larger community. It stresses educating people about beliefs and behaviors that lead to domestic violence, as well as those that keep it from happening. The program targets groups and settings where anti-violence strategies can be most effective. Pilot projects are aimed at children, men, adolescents, and communities of color because research has shown they are most at risk.

McColl's article uses a question-and-answer format to help school personnel find information to address domestic violence that affects students and the school community.

Among the questions posed are \"How does domestic violence affect schools?\", \"What are Domestic Violence Protective Orders?\", and \"How does domestic violence affect a school's duty to report child abuse or neglect?\".
