Teen Dating Violence: Resources for Judicial Leadership (Resources for the Courts, Schools, Parents, Teens, and the Community)

Legal Momentum’s National Judicial Education Program has created a set of educational materials for judges, courts, court-related professionals, schools, parents, teens, and the community to learn about the dangers and consequences of Teen Dating Violence. These Information and Resources sheets were developed by the National Judicial Education Program (NJEP) with funding from the Department of Justice Office on Violence Against Women.* “Teen Dating Violence” (TDV) is a scourge that is as epidemic, harmful, and potentially lethal as adult domestic violence. Unchecked TDV can entrench a lifetime pattern of perpetration by abusers and acceptance of abuse by victims. Teen Dating Violence: Resources for Judicial Leadership (Resources for the Courts, Schools, Parents, Teens, and the Community) provides a comprehensive list of resources (current as of February 2016) that can be used by judges, court system professionals, educators, parents, teens, and other community members to learn more about TDV and how it can be prevented and addressed.
