Abstract

The incidence of intimate partner abuse among couples in the military, as throughout all social life, has been well documented. In the early 1990s, there were a number of dramatic domestic-violence-related cases, including homicides of military wives. In response, the U.S. Marines partnered with an advocacy-based domestic violence organization to implement a coordinated community response to domestic violence throughout the U.S. Marine Corps. This article presents a case study describing the processes, activities, policies, accomplishments, and challenges of the project from 1992 to 1998.
