Reflections on 20 Years of Research on Violence and Trauma
Forde, David R.
Journal of Interpersonal Violence, v20 n1 p26-30 Jan 2005
This article is part of a special issue reflecting on what people have learned about violence and trauma over the past 20 years and where we need to go in the next 10 years. The author emphasizes the importance of learning to communicate in order to form effective community partnerships. Evidence-based research is noted as a methodological innovation for policy research. Looking to the future, the author suggests that it will be important for crime prevention researchers to not just rely on Internet-based library searches so that they may avoid problems of innumeracy and a historicism.
