Product description:

Domestic violence in any home is disturbing, to say the least. This type of violence is an equal opportunity destroyer. It shows no favor toward a particular rate, religion, age group, or socioeconomic class of individuals as it creates a path of destruction in the lives of families who experience it. Still, that African-Americans are particularly at risk in situations of domestic violence.

Research shows that African-American experience higher rates of domestic violence than other minority groups, and that African-American children are exposed to domestic violence at higher rates than other children. This trauma is further compounded by the reality that African-American children are more likely to be subjected to out-of-home placement through the child welfare system when domestic violence does occur.
