Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Domestic violence still remains the most prevalent form of violence against women in the United States, in spite of media campaign attempts to educate the public about the issue. Moreover, there have been surprisingly few scientific surveys conducted to compile the knowledge base and attitude data needed if more effective primary prevention media education programs are to be developed. This volume, based on public opinion surveys carried out between 1992 and 1996, fills the gap in the literature. Following an overview of the battered women's movement, the authors examine both current public perception of the problem and intervention issues.
