SAVE Report a Valuable Tool in Understanding DV Industry

Article here. Excerpt:

'Since domestic violence and allegations of domestic violence are a big part of what’s wrong with family law as it relates to child custody, I thought I’d do a piece on this study entitled “Are Abuse Shelters Helping the True Victims of Domestic Violence?” It comes to us courtesy of the organization Stop Abusive and Violent Environments (SAVE).

It doesn’t pretend to be an in-depth treatment of anything; rather, it simply sketches some of the many problems, questions and issues that attend domestic violence and the system of shelters in this country.

Like many other people and organizations, SAVE is dead serious about domestic violence. It’s so serious in fact that it wants people to know what DV is, who does it, who the victims are and, most importantly, how to effectively deal with the problem. In other words, in all those ways, SAVE is at odds with the DV industry generally.'
