Abstract
The different forms of violence—child abuse and neglect, youth violence, intimate partner
violence, sexual violence, elder abuse, and suicidal behavior—are strongly connected to
each other in many important ways. Understanding and addressing the interconnections
among these forms of violence is the central tenet of this 5-year vision to prevent violence
developed by the Division of Violence Prevention (DVP). This document describes this
vision—articulating why a cross-cutting approach is important to achieving measureable
reductions in violence; the areas where we will strategically focus our attention; and
priorities for advancing practice, effectively reaching intended audiences, generating new
knowledge, and monitoring and evaluating our progress.
