Department of the Navy Family Advocacy Program: Service Need and Service Response. Phase I Report: Reconnaissance

Abstract

This report reviews the scope and nature of abuse and neglect and examines past responses to the problem by summarizing available military and civilian literature. It is the first of three reports designed to guide the Department of the Navy in responding to problems of abuse and neglect among Navy and Marine Corps personnel and families. Divided into five chapters, the report (1) summarizes existing military and civilian literature on abuse and neglect; (2) provides estimates from existing data of the incidence of abuse, neglect, sexual assault and rape in military and civilian population; (3) describes key factors associated with abuse and neglect; (4) identifies successful program elements and key tissues in responding to abuse and neglect; (5) reviews the development of family assistance programs addressing these problems in the Army, Air Force, Navy and Marine Corps; and (6) describes the organization and operation of the Navy Family Advocacy Program.
