How did this conference differ from past family violence and child victimization conferences?
In conjunction with new partners at the University of Kentucky, our conference focused on multiple forms of violence, with an emphasis on prevention. This included primary, secondary, or tertiary prevention efforts. As before, this conference offered a unique opportunity for researchers and practitioners from a broad array of disciplines to come together for the purpose of sharing, integrating, and critiquing accumulated knowledge on violence prevention.
Who organized this conference?
This conference was co-sponsored by the University of New Hampshire and the University of Kentucky. It was both a new iteration and a continuation of the formally known “Family Violence and Child Victimization Conference” put together by Dr. Murray Straus of the UNH Family Research Lab beginning in 1981.
