Contrary to popular belief, dating violence isn't confined to a specific socioeconomic class or age group. Studies indicate a disturbingly high prevalence on college campuses. A survey by Break the Cycle [2] found that nearly one in three (28%) female students and one in five (19%) male students have experienced physical, verbal, or sexual violence from a dating partner. This translates to a significant number of students navigating unhealthy and potentially dangerous relationships.
Dating violence can manifest in various forms, including physical aggression (hitting, shoving), emotional abuse (name-calling, threats), verbal intimidation (controlling what someone wears), and social isolation (preventing someone from seeing friends). Unfortunately, many students may not recognize these behaviors as abuse, attributing them to "normal" relationship dynamics.

Zielgruppe

This book is ideal for college students, educators, and anyone concerned about dating violence and alcohol abuse on campuses.
