RESEARCH REVIEW VOL. 5, NO. 1 FALL 2020

We present Research Review (RR), a publication of the Joining Forces Joining Families (JFJF) group. RR consists of summaries of research on intimate partner violence (IPV) and child maltreatment. IPV-related summaries include two papers on IPV and coercive control: coerced debt and non-sexual coercive control. The additional summaries describe aspects of parenting that can affect child development as well as child maltreatment. These include the effects of parental aggravation on children’s adjustment, the importance of positive parenting in high risk families, and ways that parents may deal with infant crying. Two final articles describe how child neglect can lead to unintentional childhood injuries and be associated with suicidal behavior of adults.
