TY - JOUR PY - 2008// TI - The nature and extent of childhood exposure to violence: what we know, why we don't know more, and why it matters JO - Journal of emotional abuse A1 - Kracke, Kristen A1 - Hahn, Hilary SP - 29 EP - 49 VL - 8 IS - 1-2 N2 - This article examines the existing literature on the incidence and prevalence of childhood exposure to violence (CEV) and discusses its limits in offering practitioners, researchers, and policymakers a comprehensive picture of the problem. A concise presentation of the scope of CEV within each violence type is provided with the intention of offering practitioners a tool for easily contextualizing and supporting a broader conceptual view of CEV in the implementation of a research and practice agenda. The challenges to obtaining comprehensive incidence and prevalence data are then explored.
