Family Violence: A Plan for Societal Intervention

Abstract: An 8 page discussion of the societal factors which translate into family violence. The author contends that distinct differences exist between families in the way they deal with conflict. Families either facilitate or inhibit the use of aggression. Given this fact, therefore, it becomes obvious that there must be ways to prevent and treat violence. Indeed, family violence is not just a family issue, it is a societal one. If we are to resolve that issue we must be willing to implement changes on a societal level. This change must address the sometimes discriminatory manner in which family violence is often dealt with in the legal system as well as an increase in the professional personnel resources which we are willing to devote to the problem. Bibliography lists 9 sources.
