Assign Week 2 8206

As a forensic psychology or criminal justice professional, you may be asked to share information about family violence with professionals who work with victims and/or perpetrators of family violence, such as law enforcement officers, child protective services, attorneys, social workers, and victim advocates. Your primary responsibility is to provide objective, evidence-based insights that inform their work.

One method for sharing such information is to create and share resources designed to increase awareness of family violence issues. These awareness resources can take many forms, including, but not limited to, flyers, brochures, and presentations. They typically describe the issue, its prevalence, risk factors, and impacts on society.

For this Assignment, you will create a public awareness brochure about child/teen family violence.
