Since 1970, huge strides have been made in confronting this issue. All 50 states have enacted DV-related reform, domestic violence social service programs are present in every county in the US and innovative DV courts now provide enhanced legal relief and social services in many parts of the country. This history and these trends and innovations present new challenges and many new professional opportunities for health, social services and criminal justice professionals.
