Dating violence
(Book)

Includes bibliographical references and index.

"Women between the ages of sixteen and twenty-four experience the highest rate of dating violence--almost triple the national average. Understanding what dating violence is can help would-be victims--whether male or female--avoid getting involved with someone who could become violent, or provide readers much-needed guidance if they are already in a potentially violent relationship. Resources are provided to help victims end an unhealthy relationship and recover both emotionally and physically. Warning signs, causes, statistics, and options for legal recourse are also included"--,publisher.
