Community Violence and Intimate Partner Violence Intersections White Paper
National Network for Safe Communities at John Jay College
Two of the most devastating forms of violence affecting communities in the United States are community violence (CV) and intimate partner violence (IPV). Each year, CV and IPV take thousands of lives while injuring and traumatizing many more; overwhelm healthcare, criminal legal, and social service systems; cost over $100B per year in system responses and lost productivity; and tear apart affected families and communities.
