Family Violence Measurement: A Sourcebook for FAP.

Abstract

This guidebook poses six specific topics for examination. Each topic represents a common and familiar scenario. It is intended to help build a knowledge base of research methods for the personnel who staff the Army's Family Advocacy Program. The material covered includes the following questions: (1) How much abuse is there? (2) What are the differences in types of maltreatment? (3) What effect does change in population size have on rates? (4) Who are the victims and offenders? (5) What are the effects of substance involvement on spouse and child abuse? (6) What information can FAP gain from the source of referral? This document will serve several purposes: (1) to teach some basic research methods; (2) to help FAP managers gather and analyze information from subordinates, and (3) to help people in the field analyze their own unique situation.
