Abstract:
Domestic violence occurs across many levels of society. It has become a major area of concern, both with the public and the North Carolina General Assembly. NORTH CAROLINA INSIGHT devotes the March 2005 issue to a discussion of it. Topics covered by the authors include resources on domestic and family violence; funding for domestic violence services; county programs for victims of domestic violence; the family court as a vehicle to address domestic discord; and recommendations for fighting domestic violence. A table categorizing domestic violence-related deaths in North Carolina from 2002 to 2004 is included. The list includes over 200 names, with pertinent information on the deaths.
