Abstract:

This paper was first published as Chapter 15 in Couples in Conflict, edited by Alan Booth, Ann C. Crouter, and Mari Clements (Lawrence Erlbaum Associates, 2001). It sketches the broad outlines of the landscape of current policy responses to different types of couple conflict and to the separate but related issue of domestic violence. It concludes with suggesting a number of questions that need to be addressed by researchers and the policy community.
