The Dynamics and Consequences of Teen Dating Violence

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. The Dynamics and Consequences of Teen Dating Violence provides necessary background information about this pervasive problem and serves as an introduction to the rest of NJEP’s TDV information and resources sheets.
