Description

This fact sheet summarizes findings from 16 meta-analyses synthesizing the results of evaluations of primary domestic violence prevention interventions between 2014 and 2024. Primary prevention includes policies or programs that stop the onset of crime perpetration and/or victimization. Domestic violence includes sexual violence, stalking, physical violence, psychological aggression, and/or control of reproductive or sexual health by spouses, boy or girlfriends, dating partners, or hook up partners. Findings show a preventative effect amongst youth and community-based adults, while no preventative effect was seen in college students.
