  • Title: Still a movement after all these years? Current tensions in the domestic violence movement.
    Author: Lehrner A, Allen NE.
    Journal: Violence Against Women; 2009 Jun; 15(6):656-77. PubMed ID: 19269931.
    Abstract:
    The domestic violence movement began as a social change movement with dual goals of social change and service provision. Despite concerns about a devolution of the movement into apolitical service provision, few studies have investigated the current status of the movement as a social change movement. Through interviews with advocates, the current study explores the degree to which domestic violence work can still be characterized as a social change movement, illuminates some central tensions within the movement, and lays a foundation for debate among those responding to domestic violence. This research also highlights movement leaders' visions for a reenergized movement.
