Abstract

Many people and organizations focus on preventing violence with the belief that if our society can stop violence against chil- dren, then most childhood trauma will be eradicated. How- ever, research that has emerged over the last 20 years clearly shows that focusing primarily on violence prevention - physical and sexual abuse, in particular - doesn't eliminate the trauma that children experience, and it won't even prevent further violence.
