Summary

Programs designed to curb domestic violence rely on valid research and an accurate understanding of that research by legal practitioners and policy makers. This Special Report analyzes the American Bar Association’s flyer, 10 Myths about Custody and Domestic Violence and How to Counter Them. Developed by the ABA’s Commission on Domestic Violence, the flyer highlights a series of 10 purported myths, their associated claims, and supporting research. In this book you will find 17 chapters which discuss these issues in depth.
