Recognizing and reporting victims of domestic violence



JD McDowell, DK Kassebaum, and SE Stromboe
Department of Diagnostic and Developmental Sciences, University of Colorado School of Dentistry, Denver 80262.

Domestic violence can be defined as any violent behavior directed against an individual within the home or family. It occurs in all segments of society and is not limited to a single ethnic or socioeconomic group. Since most intentional injuries occur in the head and neck area, the dentist might be the first to treat the domestic violence victim.
