TY - JOUR PY - 2006// TI - Child maltreatment and domestic violence: human services issues JO - Journal of health and human services administration A1 - Appel, Jonathan K. A1 - Kim-Appel, DoHee SP - 228 EP - 244 VL - 29 IS - 2 N2 - 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.
