Abstract

A significant number of family violence cases involve what are called co-occurring cases of violence. What this means is that if a child is being maltreated, there is a high likelihood that domestic violence is also occurring between the parents. When these cases occur, several different human services systems may get involved. This paper examines the concept of co-occurring violence and addresses the fragmented response system. Suggestions for improving the response to co-occurring violence are provided.
