From the Paper:

"With the evidence the literature provides it is evident that domestic violence prevention needs to target the provision of more accessible programs. In addition the research indicates that across the board with all victims education to recognize the early signs of a potentially abusive relationship is crucial to the reduction of domestic violence.
Domestic violence continues to be a serious issue in America. Children who are exposed to domestic violence are more prone to becoming victims of domestic violence in their adult relationships. It is important to work with them one on one to help them develop high self esteem and to have a safety plan for themselves in the future. It is also important to teach them to recognize early signs of potential domestic violence in their future relationships and how to walk away from it. "
