A list covering all aspects of family violence, including child abuse, sexual abuse, domestic violence, and dating violence. Sponsored by Federal Partnerships Against Violence, National Institute of Justice. In contrast to other lists on family violence, the primary contributors to INTVIO-L tend to be members of organizations providing crisis services and researchers in social work. The output of the list can range from 1-2 messages to 10 messages/day.

COMMENTS:
The Intimate Violence electronic journal aims to present the latest information on research and treatment on all aspects of family violence. Submissions are accepted from students and professionals engaged in family violence research and treatment. Past contributors have included directors of women's centers, social psychologists, and scholars. Supposedly published on a regular basis, though I have received only several issues since 9/94.

This is an excellent resource for information about current violence prevention programs and funding opportunities for such. PAVNET is a network of 33 clearinghouses and resource centers that contribute data to a resource guide relating to violence and youth at risk. Numerous branches of the federal government are responsible for PAVNET's creation. An introductory message mentions that all information from this resource guide will soon be available on this Gopher, and as far as we could discern, the information is indeed already here. Outlined are 550 projects, 100 government and private sources, 30 sources for funding, and 200 listings for training materials in various categories. Model programs for violence prevention are also profiled.
