Why is it important?
Intimate partner violence is a serious problem. It is important to understand which interventions are effective and why they are effective.
Perspectives
We know very little about the effectiveness of victim services, compared to the two other intervention strategies. This paper uses a comparative approach and a nationally representative sample to examine this issue.
