The Partner Abuse State of Knowledge project has barely been completed, but it’s already having an effect. PASK is a massive undertaking by the journal Partner Abuse to gather and analyze the state of our scientific knowledge about domestic violence since 1990. Some 42 researchers pored over 12,000 peer-reviewed studies for three years and published their findings in over 2,000 pages of written findings published in an entire year of the journal. In short, PASK is the most exhaustive, comprehensive look at the state of our knowledge about DV in this country. If anything has the power to alter the utterly wrongheaded approach to domestic violence we’ve pursued for almost four decades, PASK is it.
And who’d have guessed that a paper like the Lincoln, Nebraska Journal Star would be among the first to take heed of what PASK is urgently trying to teach us? Read it here (Journal Star, 6/29/13). Into the bargain, the writers of the op-ed are both family law attorneys and they mince no words about the abuses visited on family court justice in custody cases. (more...)
