CRJ-109 Introduction to Domestic Violence

This course offers a wide-ranging study of domestic violence. It merges theory with practical responses to victimization and an emphasis on the experience of victims. This course will emphasize the indication of violence, either in the home, in society, or as the result of individual assault or injury.  The course will survey various types of violence and study the offender-victim relationships, related data, and situational aspects that influence violent incidents. Professional skill development as it applies to first responders is also emphasized. (3 contact hours)
