New Publication from Rebbe and Co-Authors Links Childhood Exposure to Domestic Violence and Child Protection Outcomes
Posted: 11/28/2024 ()
A new study from CSDE External Affiliate Rebecca Rebbe (University of North Carolina) assessing the link between children’s domestic violence exposure and child protection outcomes was recently published in Child Maltreatment. The study, entitled “Child Protection Responses to Domestic Violence Exposure: Co-Occurring Safety Concerns and Investigation Outcomes,” examines administrative data for child protection investigations in Los Angeles County. The paper finds that investigations with domestic violence concerns were more likely to include safety concerns than investigations without. Based on these findings, the authors indicate opportunities for better use of evidence-based service planning to address families’ complex needs. Read the full study here.
