The Prevention Researcher

Abstract:
This issue of the Prevention Researcher deals with adolescent dating and sexual violence. Research indicates that dating during this stage of life is often a time of conflict and abuse. The Researcher examined not only the rates of victimization offered in many in studies, but looked further to also highlight the physical and emotional effects these acts have, the victim's response, and the effect of the violence on the dating relationship. The goal was to gain a better understanding of how violence differentially affects girls and boys. Also discussed in this issue is The Safe Dates Project, a school and community activity, Adolescents Beliefs about Rape, and Sexual Victimization During Adolescence.
