Schechter, Susan
Effective intervention in domestic violence and child maltreatment cases : guidelines for policy and practice The Greenbook Susan Schechter and Jeffrey L. Edleson - Reno, Nev. : National Council of Juvenile and Family Court Judges, 1999 - electronic document (132 pages) ; PDF file 132 pages ; 30 cm.
Recommendations from The National Council of Juvenile and Family Court Judges. Family Violence Department.
This book is intended to offer communities a guiding framework to develop interventions and measure progress as they seek to improve their responses to families experiencing domestic violence and child maltreatment. It is intended to present leaders of communities and institutions with a context-setting tool to develop public policy aimed at keeping families safe and stable. The book is broken into five chapters. Chapter 1 articulates an overall principle of safety, well-being, and stability for all victims of family violence and the need to hold batterers accountable for their violence. In Chapter 2, a series of principles are developed to guide communities in structuring their responses to families experiencing dual forms of violence. Chapters 3, 4, and 5 focus on specific recommendations for the child protection system, the network of domestic violence service providers, and the juvenile or other trial courts with jurisdiction over child maltreatment cases. Although this book often discusses battered mothers, the authors and advisors recognize that men are battered also. National statistics indicate that approximately 5 percent of all domestic violence cases involve men as victims. Because domestic violence or battering is a pattern of behavior primarily carried out by males, and because the overwhelming number of primary caretakers for children are female, the terms battered woman or mother are used frequently in this book to refer to the adult victim of domestic violence. From preface. This publication is also known as The Greenbook. Record #3283
